鈥淚 don鈥檛 teach critical race theory 鈥� I teach history,鈥� Cox said about recent efforts to undermine classroom discussions about racial injustice. 鈥淎nd if you study history, then you have to understand the significance of race and slavery and segregation.鈥�

During the episode, Cox offers insight to help educators build awareness about false narratives drawn by publications such as Edward Pollard鈥檚 1866 book, The Lost Cause, a revisionist history of the Confederacy that has found its way into classroom textbooks. Cox suggests educators use primary sources to help tell the true story.

On the topic of why educators should take on difficult conversations about race and white supremacy, Cox said: 鈥淚 think this is a topic that speaks to the diversity of your students and their experiences. And what it may feel like for a young white student is going to be different from how it may feel for a person of color or maybe a new immigrant in the community that may be in your classroom. I think it鈥檚 also important that we are educating this generation of students to be thoughtful, well-informed citizens so that, hopefully, they can avoid the pitfalls of false narratives that get perpetuated in politics and in popular culture.鈥�
