Kemp urges Georgia Board of Education to not teach 'Critical Race Theory' By FOX 5 Digital Team Published article ATLANTA, Ga. - With rank-and-file Republicans in arms over fears that their public school students are being indoctrinated that the United States is inherently racist, Gov. Brian Kemp signaled Thursday that he shared their concerns. Georgia’s Republican governor wrote a letter to the state Board of Education, whose members he appoints, urging them "to take immediate steps to ensure that Critical Race Theory and its dangerous ideology do not take root in our state standards or curriculum." "Over the last several weeks, I have heard from parents, students, administrators, and educators across our state who are extremely concerned about the teaching of Critical Race Theory in Georgia," Kemp wrote. "Like me, they are alarmed this divisive and anti-American curriculum is gaining favor in Washington, D.C. and in some states around the country."
