Master's Programs Are Breeding Ground for Critical Race Theory, Teacher Says

Master's programs in education have on average churned out nearly 150,000 teachers annually over the past seven years.

At Harvard, aspiring teachers "Learn to change the world" in courses like Critical Race Theory in Education.

Though critical race theory entered the national conversation last summer, it has been percolating in graduate programs since the 1990s, Lindsey Burke, director of the Center for Education Policy at the Heritage Foundation, told the Free Beacon.

While course requirements vary based on the university, foundational courses-pedagogy or practicum classes that teach future teachers how to teach-are often taught through the lens of critical race theory.

Kinnett's Foundations of American Education course, he said, was where he learned a "Big chunk" of critical race theory.

"There can be no policy made from the top down regarding K-12 education that can solve critical race theory," Kinnett said.

"In order to change education, and remove the poison of critical race theory, you have to start at the source, which is these teacher education programs."
