Alabama lawmakers on Wednesday advanced GOP-backed legislation to ban discussion of “ divisive concepts ” in classroom lessons and worker trainings on race and gender.
The House State Government Committee approved the bill on a 9-3 vote, so it now moves to the full House of Representatives. “This is a slap in the face to every decent hardworking Black Alabamian that’s in this room, that’s out of this room. It’s divisive that not a single white person on this committee is going to vote against this bill,” said Democratic Rep. Prince Chestnut, a Black lawmaker from Selma. He noted that white Republicans are voting to ban ”divisive concepts” while supporting the state law protecting Confederate monuments.
