The Irvine Unified School District recently removed a paragraph from its website describing the creation of a committee to “develop a curriculum that is antiracist” and links to a website that makes controversial claims about race after a parent brought the language to the board’s attention last month.
During an Oct. 25 board meeting, several parents expressed concern that critical race theory—an ideology that divides society into oppressors and oppressed based on race—is being taught in the district’s schools.
