Alabama State University professor and Dadeville native Robert White (right) is challenging Rep. Ed Oliver (R-Dadeville) to a public debate on critical race theory.

An Alabama State University political science professor is challenging a fellow Dadeville High School graduate, a Republican legislator, to a public debate on critical race theory.

Earlier this year Rep. Ed Oliver (R-Dadeville) pre-filed one of three bills currently taking aim at the instruction of critical race theory. The academic movement proposes racism is propagated not just by individual bias, but legal systems and policymaking, past and present.
