Republican School Board Members Resign Amid CRT Controversy

A March news report from Elizabeth, Colorado, shows Republicans involved with the school board accusing one another of secretly promoting critical race theory. The ensuing conflict led to many school board members resigning rather than continue to deal with the repercussions. Critical race theory is a legal framework that examines the role of race and racism in the US. It has been the subject of much controversy in recent years, with some people accusing it of being divisive and promoting a victim mentality. The Elizabeth school board controversy began when a group of parents accused the board of teaching critical race theory in the district's schools. The board denied the accusations, but the controversy continued to simmer. In March, the board voted to ban critical race theory from the district's schools. However, the controversy continued, with some parents and community members calling for the resignation of the board members who voted for the ban. In April, the board voted to censure two of its members, who were seen as being aligned with the parents who were opposed to critical race theory. The censure vote led to the resignation of two other board members. The controversy has left the Elizabeth school board in disarray. It is unclear how the district will move forward in the wake of the resignations.
