In the release, it was made clear that “Governor Ivey strongly believes that woke concepts have no place at any level of education in the state of Alabama and should not be taking away from the overall mission of improving educational outcomes for students.”
The head of Alabama's Department of Early Childhood Education has resigned after Alabama GOP Gov. Kay Ivey was made aware of “woke concepts" featured in resource books being distributed in the state.
Gov. Kay Ivey objected to a resource for teachers that says there are “larger systemic forces that perpetuate systems of White privilege” and that “LGBTQIA+ need to hear and see messages that promote equality, dignity and worth.”
