Wenyuan also authored a booklet on CRT in spring 2021 and organized a bi-partisan and multi-racial coalition against CRT. In 2022, she is working on a book project with Dr. Lance Izumi of the Pacific Research Institution on
CRT’s propagation in public education and empirical cases of a growing counter-movement against CRT. Wenyuan can be reached at wenyuan.wu@cferfoundation.org.
