2022 GA Governor's race: on Education


Brian Kemp: Asked Georgia Board of Ed. to denounce critical race theory

Instead of prioritizing the underfunding of public schools, Kemp has jumped on the anti-critical race theory bandwagon. Kemp participated in the conservative disinformation campaign around equity and diversity in education under the guise of preventing "indoctrination" of critical race theory. He went so far as to publicly request the Georgia Board of Education to denounce critical race theory, sending a message to local school boards that "indoctrination" will not be tolerated.

Vernon Jones: School choice: why can't the money follow the child?

He made it clear that the conservative talking point of school choice is an undertaking dear to him. "When the mother lies [by using a false address] to get their kids into a performing school, because she wants better for her kid too, where's the sanctuary for that child? Why is that parent arrested? It does not make sense. Black families want their children in performing schools, why can't the money follow the child," he concluded.
