As educators, students, and community members, we strongly oppose Senate Bill 375 (Divisive Concepts), Senate Bill 377 (Divisive Concepts), House Bill 888 (Teaching About Race), and House Bill 1084 (Divisive Concepts).

These bills are aimed at severely limiting, if not eliminating, the teaching of accurate history. These bills are a tremendous circumvention of local control and educational independence. They aim to replace American history with a mythology of America that erases the harms of slavery and racism in this country. They are also looking to limit teachings around civic engagement.

Using these laws to prevent talking about racism is anathema to free speech -- a right that all Americans hold dear.

We urge you to take action to ensure that these dangerous bills do not become law and that Georgia’s students and teachers remain free to express their ideas and experiences -- all of them -– in Georgia’s classrooms.
