on a scale of uneducated to fully woke, where do you think these manuals stood?
what were the “woke concepts”?
“The complaint stemmed from a document crafted by Rep. Jamie Kiel, which highlighted passages in the manual discussing systemic racism, white privilege, and LGBTQ+ families — topics deemed offensive by Kiel ~~and his constituents,~~ according to AL.com.
That’s less than one Arkansas lectern.
Jokes on them…us teachers don’t have time to read manuals anyway. We just sign saying we read them and go on teaching.

What is offensive about these topics?
It makes my brain vibrate thinking about politicians who have made it their job to proactively seek out culture war points. And when they get dragged in every article, it doesn’t matter cause their low information supporters get their “news” from social media.
They probably got to the English class lesson plans and saw the word “pronouns” and that was that.
Have they managed to say what woke means yet?
Hmmm. Anyone interested in knowing what AL is first place in? How about last place?
I like how this words means absolutely nothing anymore but, “What I don’t like” on the Right, it’s a catch-all pejorative to them: it’s the new “LI-BER-AL” basically for them.
Thank god for Massachusetts, I don’t know how some of you survive in these red states.
Woke means to be aware of racism. People against woke are white Christians nationalists who are racists.
Alabama officials are nazis apparently. Glad they are making it publicly known.
Because if there’s one thing Alabama needs, it’s less books.
Some 70 plus out of touch Boomer who probably never finished high school and probably has a 3rd grade reading aptitude.
Stupid Bama is gonna stay stupid bye golly. Roll Tide!!!
I learned that in 1860, just before the Civil War, Alabama had 964,000 residents, and 45% of them (435,000) were enslaved. (Not the highest: South Carolina was 57%.) Just thought that was interesting. Probably unrelated, though.
Keep ‘em stupid, angry, and republican.
Alabama – highest rate of divorce (1 in country) and lowest rate of high school graduation. I’m shocked they have time for this nonsense…
Those that would burn books, will end up burning people.
Why would any teacher work in these Hell scape states?
Woke is just a fantasy buzzword for the poor and uneducated.
Most of my reading material on early childhood development puts a big emphasis on educators respecting children’s different backgrounds and religious beliefs, that’s just a part of being an educator to a number of very different children and families.
If that kinda tame as hell “just respect others” instruction is enough for you to get offended and ban the book then you’re just a bad person in my opinion, and should have no say and no part in young kids development.
“Teach children to be kind to others and accept them as members of society.”
WHY I COULD NEVER!
Oh no, now they may find it hard to maintain that “#44 in education in the US” ranking
Since conservatives love small government so much, why not choke out all federal funding and only fund blue counties? We’ll find out how quickly these assholes will change
Wouldn’t it be nice if California and New York stopped sending out money to any state that bans books or pulls this crap. They want their constituents to be dumb and sick.
