Georgia鈥檚 state superintendent of schools said Wednesday that he believes a new Advanced Placement course in African American Studies violates the state鈥檚 law against teaching divisive racial concepts, explaining that is why he won鈥檛 recommend it become an approved state course.
Until now, Richard Woods, the state鈥檚 elected Republican superintendent, hadn鈥檛 explained why he was blocking approval of the course. Some districts have said they will teach it anyway, but others have canceled their plans.
