In response to attempts to ban the teaching of critical race theory, the Institute of Ethnic Studies has issued a statement, which can be found at https://ethnicstudies.unl.edu/advocacy-statements. There are many theories that help to explain racial disparities and injustice, dating back to the late 1700s.
