A nonprofit membership organization that works with art educators sent an email encouraging teachers to explore arts education through the “lens” of Critical Race Theory. 

As part of its broader diversity, equity, and inclusion vision, the National Arts Education Association (NAEA) sent members a link to an article that encouraged them to teach towards racial and social justice. The organization works with thousands of educators that range from pre-K to university level, across 50 states, D.C., most Canadian Provinces, and 25 other foreign countries.
