Abstract

Using critical race theory (CRT) as both our theory and analytical framework, we interrogated vocational, career, and technical education (VCTE) policy as a racial instrument. We applied key CRT themes to examine both primary sources; including historical and contemporary VCTE Acts (e.g., Perkins I-V) and Congressional reports; and secondary sources, including academic analyses of VCTE, its history, and related legislation. Findings demonstrate that VCTE policy upholds race-neutrality, which we argue is problematic because without being designated a special population, racially oppressed students stand to miss out on important funding opportunities that could dramatically alter and improve their lives.

逃避种族问题：对职业/就业和技术教育政策的种族批判分析

我们将批判性种族理论（CRT）作为理论和分析框架，将职业、事业和技术教育（VCTE）政策作为种族工具加以审视。我们运用批判性种族理论的关键主题来研究第一手资料，包括历史上和当代的职业技术教育法案（如帕金斯法案 I-V）和国会报告；以及第二手资料，包括对职业技术教育、其历史和相关立法的学术分析。研究结果表明，VCTE 政策坚持种族中立，我们认为这是有问题的，因为如果不被指定为特殊人群，受种族压迫的学生就会错过重要的资助机会，而这些机会可以极大地改变和改善他们的生活。
