Legislatures have banned CRT across many states in America, altering the country's campus climate. This case study surveys more than 200 students, faculty, and staff on campus to understand their points of view on CRT. The authors find a "pernicious polarization" dividing the university and suggest that university faculty consider a "Critical Patriotic Civic History" to provide a multi-perspectival pedagogy to prepare our multicultural student body to become our country's next generation of citizens.
