Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey announced Friday she replaced the state’s director of early childhood education, due to the use of a teacher training book that Ivey said teaches “woke concepts.”
“The education of Alabama’s children is my top priority as governor, and there is absolutely no room to distract or take away from this mission,” Ivey said in a statement.
“Let me be crystal clear: Woke concepts that have zero to do with a proper education and that are divisive at the core have no place in Alabama classrooms at any age level, let alone with our youngest learners.”
The book of concern is the 881-page Developmentally Appropriate Practice Book, 4th edition, developed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
The book is a guide for early childhood educators but is not a curriculum taught to children.
Ivey spokesperson Gina Maiola said she understands that the books have been removed from the state classrooms.

Thank you Gov Ivey.
It is also Alabama and the left has written that state off. The left instead focuses on states it needs to completely control the US like Texas.
Perhaps I missed this part....but who hired this person?
The old broad takes no prisoners.
Mama Kay don’t play!
