A bill introduced on the first day of Georgia’s new legislative session seeks to prohibit schools from teaching the tenets of critical race theory (CRT) and instead promote an education focusing on how Americans overcome injustice and fulfill the nation’s founding ideals.
House Bill 888, introduced on Thursday by Republican state Rep. Thomas Brad, begins with a statement countering the claim that systemic racism is woven into America’s social institutions—an idea popularized by proponents of CRT, who see deeply embedded racism in all aspects of American life.
