The Georgia Senate has approved a measure that would prohibit local school boards and administrators from discriminating"on the basis of race" by promoting or encouraging"divisive concepts" in classrooms.

House Bill 1084, known as the"Protect Students First Act," passed the state Senate Friday in a 32-21 vote, according to Senate press director Andrew Allison. The bill now heads to the House for final approval before it can move to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp's desk to be signed into law. A version of the measure had first passed the state House last month.

If only california could hop on this trend, the 90s and 2000s census was bunk. We are the minorities

Sometimes I ask myself if this racism they talk about is real. Cos the dream of the average black person is to leave black Africa and relocate to the white man's land. Let us remember that Africa will forever be our project to repair and rebuild.

Terrible situation is happening in Canada, a country that has a difficult weather, but now the political environment has become dangerous. is not longer safe to live in Canada, and people is looking into escape from this country.

On the 'basis of race' but not on gender....interesting

Here come Jim Crow back again, this time through the back door

👍

Yeah...they can pass whatever it is they want to pass, but the State of Georgia will always and forever be stained with racist ideals and racism.

Is Merrick garland letting you down? Do you wonder if he’s being blackmailed!

When one child can look at another child without regards to race or gender and play together, then our education system will be working properly

Georgia and Florida are embarrassing

Azzholes changing common sense to race trolling!

I guess developing critical thinking skills has no use in GA?

There already is discrimination laws for this what you are doing is bringing racism to its highest peak since the slavery years just drop it. There will always be that low life that's going to hate someone based on there skin nothing anyone can do

Thankyou Joe Biden

Georgia, you all need to get the Democratic party back in charge so you all can get on with you lives .

no originality for the Republican Party, if one says it they all say it.

Finally some good news from Georgia.

Sounds like an attack on critical thinking and discussion in the classroom. Very sad. Censorship is never a good thing, let young minds figure it out themselves with free discussions and no rules that prohibit growth

Nothing like vague language to make a law unenforceable.

Back to the Stone Age. Is the Bible included in the law as well? Has anyone in GA actually read it?

It makes it illegal to teach 'the concept that the United States and Georgia are 'fundamentally or systemically racist''... and I guess also to claim that there is a war in Ukraine... big authoritarian vibes, here, trying to define reality by legislation.

GA legislators can't possibly be representing most of the people of GA... at least I hope not. GA is better than this!

If a discussion on race DOESN'T make white people feel sad or ashamed there is something wrong with the discussion. It doesn't mean the kids take personal responsibility for the issues, rather experience empathy and learn to understand the problem.

Literally trying to destroy free thinking and open debate just to salve white racists' feelings.

The South will rise again!!

We need a law that says you can’t claim to be the party of “limited government” and continue to legislate shit like this.

Ugggh this trend of all these culture wars is really dragging down the GOP

Divisive Concepts? The only divisive concept in this country is Trumpism.

I was divisive on having protein pancakes or eggs this am- that is divisive. This is making sure white kids don’t get their feelings hurt.

That damn pesky history enstuff

The motivation of the GOP, the party of white Americans, to criminalize teaching 'divisive concepts' is to obscure its divide-and-rule race-based politics.

Making racism legal for white people seems a bit racist doesn’t it?

For the party of small government and personal freedom…. The GOP sure are mandating a lot of how it’s citizens should think and act.

Good. Black children shouldn't be taught to be victims and white children shouldn't be taught they are oppressors. Of course liberals hate this. They love division.

Please dont talk about past racism

White tears

And then they'll say 'divisive concepts' includes literally anything that mentions racism in history.

Sounds good to me
