As critical race theory continues to be hotly debated among parents, educators, and politicians across the country, a Fox News Poll finds that half are unfamiliar with the concept.
The survey, released Friday, shows many registered voters are unacquainted with CRT: 49 percent are extremely or very familiar, while 41 percent are not very or not at all familiar — and another 10 percent can’t say or have never heard of it.

Meanwhile, when asked which group is more favored in the United States, Whites or minorities, voters increasingly say minorities.
