Political Rewind: School Boards Wade Into Critical Race Theory; Bid To Return All-Star Game Fails
Friday on Political Rewind:\xa0The Cobb County School Board waded into the contentious effort to ban the teaching of so-called critical race theory. A divided board yesterday outlawed the concept,\xa0an academic framework that analyzes\xa0racism as not just individual bias but as embedded in legal systems and policies.\xa0\n\nOne Republican board member called the theory a divisive concept. A board member opposed to the ban said he was wary of approving a resolution on a topic the board could not define.\n\nMeanwhile, a federal judge dismissed a call for Major League Baseball to return the All-Star Game to Cobb County. The suit was brought by a conservative business group that accused MLB of causing serious harm to businesses that stood to benefit from having the game at Truist Park.\n\nPanelists:\n\nJim Galloway \u2014 Retired Political Columnist\n\nMaya Prabhu \u2014 Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution\n\nChart Riggall \u2014 Reporter, Marietta Daily Journal\n\nAmy Steigerwalt \u2014 Professor of Political Science, Georgia State University
