In a post-truth world, it is imperative for educators to help students sift through the various views of both historical and current events. Critical race theory (CRT), a controversial theoretical framework directly critiquing white supremacy and incorporating the histories of historically marginalized communities, is a useful tool for helping students develop their own understanding of history and the world. However, research shows that social studies educators of white students are unprepared to use CRT. Antony Farag shares his research into white teachers’ use of CRT and describes what happened when his predominately white school attempted to launch an elective course build on critical race theory.

在后事实世界中，教育工作者必须帮助学生筛选历史和时事的各种观点。批判种族理论（CRT）是一个有争议的理论框架，直接批评白人至上，并将历史上边缘化社区的历史纳入其中，是帮助学生发展对历史和世界的了解的有用工具。但是，研究表明，白人学生的社会研究教育者不准备使用CRT。安东尼·法拉格（Antony Farag）分享了他对白人教师使用CRT的研究，并描述了当他以白人为主的学校尝试开设以批判种族理论为基础的选修课时发生的事情。
