Alabama Governor Removes Education Official for 'Woke' Book on Race.

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has replaced her director of early childhood education, Barbara Cooper, over the use of a teacher training book that the governor denounced as teaching "woke concepts" because of language about inclusion and structural racism. The book in question is the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Developmentally Appropriate Practice Book, 4th edition. Ivey's office cited two examples from the book, one discussing white privilege and another that Ivey's office claimed teaches LGBTQ+ inclusion to 4-year-olds. The NAEYC is a national accrediting board that provides high-quality education materials and resources for young children.

Alabama education officials face backlash over 'woke' training book.

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has replaced her director of early childhood education, Barbara Cooper, over the use of a teacher training book, written by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), that she denounced as teaching "woke concepts" because of language about inclusion and structural racism. The book is a guide for early childhood educators and is not a curriculum taught to children. The NAEYC did not address Ivey's statements but said the book is a research-based resource for educators. Alabama's First Class voluntary pre-kindergarten programs operate more than 1,400 classrooms across the state.

Alabama Governor Removes Early Childhood Education Secretary Over 'Woke' Training Book

The head of the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education, Barbara Cooper, was forced to resign after state officials found that the department was distributing teacher training materials that included so-called “woke concepts.” Governor Kay Ivey was concerned that the materials were “divisive” and inappropriate for young learners. The materials in question were the fourth edition of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Developmentally Appropriate Practice Book. The NAEYC said the book is a responsive, educator-developed, educator-informed, and research-based resource that has been honed over multiple generations to support teachers in helping all children thrive and reach their full potential.
