Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen on Thursday issued a legal opinion that found that using critical race theory in training and education programs violates the U.S. Constitution as well as federal and state laws.
Knudsen issued his determination following a request from Superintendent of Public Instruction, Elsie Arntzen, who wanted the state’s top legal official to opine on the legality of teaching so-called “anti-racism” programs and critical race theory in Montana public schools.
