Abstract
This chapter explores the issues of racial inequity and discrimination within the Central Valley of California PK-12 system, focusing on the experiences of both Black and Muslim students. The authors, Patricia Lane and Carolyn Lane, critique the current educational landscape, particularly the rise of anti-critical race theory (CRT) legislation, which undermines principles of democracy, equity, and social justice. Patricia reflects on her observation of Black students being marginalized in a classroom setting, while Carolyn utilizes critical Muslim theory (MusCrit) to understand the challenges faced by Muslim students in the Central Valley of California. Both emphasize the importance of dismantling oppressive structures in education and amplifying the voices of marginalized students to achieve social justice.
