Abstract
In this case narrative, we introduce readers to Carmén, a newly appointed Queer Latina principal. Faced with bureaucratic responses to proposed anti-critical race theory (CRT) and LGBTQ+ legislation, Carmén is forced to contend with teacher and district responses and concerns. The case narrative is divided into three events, each requiring readers to unpack the tensions and nuances presented by Carmén’s intersectional and professional identities. In addition, the case narrative creates space to imagine a policy response that resists anti-CRT/LGBTQ+ attacks. Through Carmén, we encourage aspiring leaders to (re)imagine schools and classrooms as humanizing, liberatory, and CRT/LGBTQ+ centered spaces.
