Georgia school superintendent backtracks, but it ain't enough

from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts

Earlier this week, Georgia's state schools superintendent Richard Woods put his foot in his mouth when he announced the state would no longer be funding AP African American Studies. Folks were outraged. Folks (the Republican governor included) wanted to know why he made that decision. Well, he reversed course (somewhat) but activists were still outraged, so I reached out to Atlanta-based public education policy advocate Mikayla Arciaga so she could explain why Woods' about-face isn't good enough. Donald Trump's gone from "anytime, anywhere" to "not gonna debate her" using "we can't even be sure she's the nominee" as their excuse. And it definitely is that - an excuse. One that makes no sense to use to back out of a date in mid-September and well after the DNC convention when whomever the nominee is will be known by then. Meanwhile, former Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan - a Republican - again considered who he'd choose between Donald Trump and whomever else was on the ballot and went away from his party to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Hear why.
