    • Abstract:
      SPOTLIGHT ON SUBURBAN SCHOOLS Tn February 2021, Kappan published my first article, which discussed my research into teachers' knowledge of CRT and the controversies surrounding a high school course I taught that was explicitly framed by critical race theory (CRT) in the predominantly white suburb of Westfield, New Jersey (Farag, 2021). For example, teachers need to be aware that parent influence is very powerful in many suburban districts (Calarco, 2020) and can even dictate which teachers get retained and which ones do not get tenure. Preparing to navigate controversy As a teacher educator, I try hard to prepare preservice social studies teachers for the current culture war. As a teacher of color in a predominately white suburban school district who is also a teacher educator, I believe our voices are necessary to help current and future teachers navigate this culture war.
