Marc Lamont Hill for an interview on
Black News Tonight earlier this week. When pressed for direct reasoning for his stance on banning critical race theory from schools, the conversation grew intense.
Jones, a former Democrat and current Republican who is currently a candidate in the GOP primary for Georgia’s 2022 gubernatorial election, said that he would ban the teaching of critical race theory in schools if given the change.
“On Day One, through executive order, I will immediately instruct the Georgia Department of Education to prohibit the teaching of Critical Race Theory within our public schools,” he tweeted. “It’s time for our schools to stop teaching our kids to hate America.”
