ATLANTA — Gov. Brian Kemp will travel to the Forsyth County school district Thursday morning to sign into law multiple education bills that Democrats fought against, his office said.
Republican lawmakers in the state, in step with the GOP nationally, championed bills that made education a wedge issue over mask mandates, school books, censorship and race.
One of the most controversial bills Kemp will sign limits how K-12 teachers can discuss about race and racism. House Bill 1084 prohibits the teaching of nine concepts Republicans consider divisive. The definitions were lifted in large part from an executive order by former President Donald Trump prohibiting their use in federal workforce training.
