Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey announced Friday she replaced the state’s director of early childhood education, due to the use of a teacher training book that Ivey said teaches “woke concepts.”

“The education of Alabama’s children is my top priority as governor, and there is absolutely no room to distract or take away from this mission," Ivey said in a statement.
