Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Friday announced she replaced her director of early childhood education over the use of a teacher training book, written by a nationally recognized education group, that the Republican governor denounced as teaching "woke concepts" because of language about inclusion and structural racism.
Barbara Cooper was forced out as as head of the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education after Ivey expressed concern over the distribution of the book to state-run pre-kindergartens. Ivey spokesperson Gina Maiola identified the book as the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Developmentally Appropriate Practice Book, 4th edition. Maiola said she understands that the books have been removed from the state classrooms.

There is a purported fine line between education and indoctrination and once that line is crossed it forever changes the educational outcomes in the lives of those children being indoctrinated and individual freedoms dissolve into obedience... It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what happens in the next few generations... Just extrapolating here on what I see happening in today's society...

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel 45 has allowed the South to show their TRUE colors...
..."The material that led to Cooper's resignation, according to Ivey's office, "invokes ideas for teachers that there are ‘larger systemic forces that perpetuate systems of White privilege’ or that ‘the United States is built on systemic and structural racism.’"...
