A bill that would have banned the teaching of “divisive concepts” failed to pass the Legislature, and some Democratic lawmakers say it was due to a decision to focus on economic measures that would benefit the whole state.
HB7, sponsored by Rep. Ed Oliver, R-Dadeville, and SB247, sponsored by Sen. Will Barfoot, R-Pike Road, sponsored bills that would limit “divisive concepts” by some public groups, including schools.
