The Efficacy of All-Male Academies: Insights from Critical Race Theory (CRT)

Abstract  

This paper presents Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a theoretical framework for understanding the growing interest in establishing
single-gender schools and classrooms for African American males in the United States. From a legal perspective, CRT proponents
contend that single-gender education offers African Americans a viable strategy for addressing and reversing the systemic
and cultural forces that limit the academic achievement, educational attainment and destinies of African American males. Both
potential benefits and problematic aspects of single-gender education as a timely reform strategy to raise academic achievement
and improve the lives and futures of African American males are discussed.
