The course, which uses the book “Critical Race Theory: An Introduction” by Jean Stefancic and Richard Delgado as its core text, is intended for 11th and 12th graders. 10th graders can take the course with a teacher referral. The revelation comes from a Freedom of Information Act request response given to PDE by Zachor Legal. Erika Sanzi, Director of Outreach for Parents Defending Education, told RedState that, despite claims that CRT is not taught in schools, these documents suggest otherwise.

We hear constantly that critical race theory isn’t in K-12 schools, but San Ramon is yet another district that explicitly teaches it to students and then requires them to become activists for particular causes.

School district documents detail the topics students learn throughout the course. The overview explains that the course “uses a thematic, interdisciplinary approach based in culturally-relevant pedagogy to draw out student voices” and help students “engage in articulate discussions about the complexities of power, privilege, and agency in history and modern-day sociopolitical systems, through the lenses of race, ethnicity, gender, class, ability, and religion.” Students will “learn about liberatory social movements and culminate with a student designed action project, which leans into dismantling institutionalized oppression, and that authentically promotes students’ civic engagement, self-efficacy and collective empowerment in the local community setting,” according to the overview.
