Georgia Teacher Of The Year Explains Why She Feels Critical Race Theory Should Be Taught In Schools

Tracey Pendley says part of her job as Georgia’s 2020 Teacher of the Year is to speak out about the concerns of students, teachers and parents.

On Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Pendley, a fourth-grade teacher and an ex-officio Georgia Board of Education member, talked with show host Rose Scott about her background and passion for teaching.

She also shared her thoughts about the Georgia Board of Education’s recent move to pass a resolution banning Critical Race Theory from being taught in K-12 public schools.
