www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com A group of Georgia lawmakers has filed legislation to block critical race theory from being taught in public schools.
The theory is centered around the idea that race is a social construct used to oppress people of color. It was developed by legal scholars in the late 1970s and 1980s and concludes racism in America is systemic. It gained new notoriety in response to the 1619 Project, a New York Times multimedia piece that connects slavery to capitalism.
Rep. Brad Thomas, R-Holly Springs, the lead sponsor of the bill said the theory is divisive.
"As progressives continue to push their anti-American, 'woke' agenda, parents throughout this state have also woken up to the reality that divisive ideologies, such as critical race theory and the 1619 Project, are being forced on our children by rogue teachers and radical school boards," Thomas said.
