Abstract
Critical race theory (CRT) teaching currently plays a leading and controversial role in school board meetings; parent teacher meetings, media outlets, and in local, state, and national policy decision making. Proponents of CRT teaching maintain that students deserve an honest education that is free from omissions, distortion, and bias. Through the lens of CRT, students in grades K-16 learn history with accuracy and in developmentally appropriate ways. They explore transparently presented historical events and discuss contextual factors that led to these events as well as the progress that Americans have achieved over the last two centuries. This chapter addresses the impact of CRT teaching in learning transparent history, their resultant quest for more knowledge about marginalization and oppression, and their eagerness to “turn it around” and promote understanding and unity. Through enlisting the related practices of culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP), lessons and activities are illustrated in a content-integrated manner.

Exploring Social Justice Issues Through Diverse Youth Literature: Erasing Prejudice One Book at a Time
While the name of an organization founded after the killing of a Black man by white police officers in Ferguson, MO in 2014, Black Lives Matter is now more used to describe the idea that Black lives deserve equal treatment as citizens with equal human rights, and until this occurs, it is inappropriate to counter the statement with statements such as “All Lives Matter.”
