Sign up for How To LA, delivered weekday mornings. California State University Fullerton will no longer send student teachers to the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District after the district's school board voted earlier this year to ban critical race theory.Critical race theory is a decades-old academic framework that examines how racism has shaped, and continues to shape, laws and policies. Concepts associated with critical race theory rose in popularity in the wake of George Floyd's killing and, simultaneously, have provoked a backlash in recent years among some conservatives.
