The University of Oregon’s student government is pushing for the institution to make critical race theory training a graduation requirement, new reports say.
Isaiah Boyd, the Associated Students of UO president, said critical race theory, which holds that U.S. institutions are inherently racist, will have a positive effect on students and increase awareness of systemic racial injustices, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting .
“I think we’ve identified this as an issue across the nation, as something that’s relevant to not only the educational value for students but also to the well-being of our community,” Boyd told the board of trustees.
