Fighting the pandemic inside schools has become all the more complicated as politically-motivated social wars have taken over the nation’s classrooms. What’s more, developing a well-rounded curriculum inclusive of diverse perspectives, has become increasingly rife with accusations of exposing youth to critical race theory with mal-intent.
These herculean challenges that have become a sign of the times nationwide, including in Georgia where the state’s Board of Education passed a resolution taking aim at critical race theory and some districts have clashed over mask mandates.
Everton Blair, who announced his campaign for Georgia State School Superintendent on Thursday, is hoping to to bring solutions to the Peach State’s largest school system.
In an exclusive interview with theGrio, the chairman of the Gwinnett County School Board said he is up to the task. If elected, Everton would be the first Black, youngest-ever and first openly gay school superintendent in Georgia.
