In this episode, Amber and Erika debunk the lies surrounding Critical Race Theory, and discuss why so many people are invested in disseminating false information and political misstatements around what was, until recently, a relatively unknown interdisciplinary area of study usually reserved for graduate students.

Tune in to the episode to hear what we have to say!
