From statehouses to Congress, Republicans have launched into a fight against the teaching of “critical race theory,” which just a year ago was a niche academic term.

Friday on Political Rewind: Is Georgia House Speaker David Ralston (R-Blue Ridge) considering a run for Senate in 2022? A meeting with Republican congressional leaders and recent social media posts about the Senate seat currently held by Sen. Raphael Warnock are leading some analysts to speculate Ralston might launch a challenge. Meanwhile, conservative leaders across Georgia are focusing their attention on a new issue: critical race theory in state curriculum. But is this a problem in search of a solution? 

The director of the Office of Management and Budget told agency heads on Friday that such trainings were "divisive" and "anti-American."
