Georgia Students DESERVE Honesty in Education
Let's Take Action
In the Georgia 21-22 legislative session, the Divisive Concepts bill (HB 1084) was written into law, under the guise of the "Protect Students First Act". This law attempts to censor educators and stop them from teaching about race and racism in the United States, which the law labels as “divisive.” and we are standing up to this bill. Join us in the fight, by giving us feedback on how this law has affected you!
