A LatCrit analysis has allowed researchers to develop the conceptual framework of racism and nativism ... The overarching theoretical frameworks ... are CRT, and in particular, LatCrit. CRT in educational research unapologetically centers on the ways race, class, gender, sexuality and other forms of oppression manifest in the education experiences of People of Color. CRT draws from multiple disciplines to CHALLENGE THE DOMINANT IDEOLOGIES such as MERITOCRACY and COLOR BLINDNESS, which suggest educational institutions are neutral systems that function in the same ways for all students.
