ATLANTA — Georgia House Republicans put their stamp of approval Friday to much of GOP Gov. Brian Kemp’s education agenda.
Voting along party lines, the Republican majority passed bills guaranteeing parents’ involvement in their children’s education, protecting free-speech rights on Georgia’s public university campuses and prohibiting the teaching of “divisive concepts” in the state’s public schools.
