Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed several education-related bills into law Thursday, including a parental bill of rights, a ban on pornographic books in school libraries, and a prohibition on "divisive concepts" in classroom instruction.
The Georgia Senate has passed a bill that would prevent the use of curricula or training programs which seek to promote or encourage certain divisive concepts.
Two hearings were held on a bill outlining a process in which parents can appeal if they feel their child is being taught lessons on race that are inappropriate. Meanwhile, another bill aiming to give parents more recourse to protest their child’s public school lessons is poised for a full House vote.
