Business Insider - A raft of bills restricting teaching on race and gender are emerging in state legislatures.
- The movement is raising concerns about a “chilling effect” on educators.
- One critical race theory professor likened it to a Red Scare.
Tanya KaterĂ HernĂĄndez feels fortunate to be a tenured professor at Fordham University School of Law, a private Catholic institution in New York City that she said supports her teaching on critical race theory.
But she told Insider she worries about what might happen if, for instance, her family needed her to move to another state where the laws involving her expertise are becoming hostile. She questions whether she could teach what she sees as the most important issues for her students to learn elsewhere without being fired.
