Political Rewind: Parents' Bill of Rights, transgender sports ban and Gwinnett maps dominate session
Thursday on Political Rewind: A look at the slate of legislation in the General Assembly. Among those bills, we discussed a proposed parental "bill of rights\u201d for Georgia schools. Gov. Brian Kemp said the legislation would allow parents a more active role in their child\u2019s education, but critics warn the bill could cause a chill on free speech. Republican governors of other states, like Gov. Ron DeSantis in Florida, are pushing similar legislation. \n\nKevin Riley \u2014 Editor-in-chief, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution\nKristal Dixon \u2014 Reporter, Atlanta Axios\nMargaret Coker \u2014 Editor-in-chief, The Current \nRiley Bunch \u2014 Public policy reporter, Georgia Public Broadcasting \nThomas Clyde \u2014 Lawyer, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP\n\nTimestamps \n:00- Introductions from guest host Kevin Riley\n2:41- President of CNN steps down \n5:46- Sarah Palin sues The New York Times\n16:36- Gov.
