the second is the state board, elections board. y will have the power to suspend county and local elections. the reason that matters is here in the state of georgia, both chambers are strongly controlled by republicans. you will remember back in 2020 secretary of state brad raffensperger spoke out very strongly. it was him and members of his office, gabe sterling and others, who repeatedly essentially pushed back on then president trump's unfounded claims of voter fraud, essentially saying there's no evidence of widespread fraud and the election was conducted fairly. at the same time during 2020, we saw a growing number of republican lawmakers, many of whom were siding with the then president, talking about the fact it was a fraudulent election, making those unfounded claims but also calling for very specific things. calling for a general assembly to be called, special session to be called, and also calling for the removal of some of those state and local officials. had this law been this place back in 2020, you will remember the se

the rule that the state school board adopted reads in part "instruction on the required topics must be factual and objective and may not suppress or distort significant historical events such as the holocaust and may not define american history is something other than the creation of a nation based largely on universal principles stated in the declaration of independence." supporters of critical race theory say that the current history curriculum, it white wash of some very dark moments in our nation's past. what do you say? >> if you look at critical race theory and you look at the people who've written about in who advocate for it, they are explicit in saying that america is founded on racism and there's no way to turn away from it. and this is the outworking of those theories. it's an outworking of putting people into separate groups, oppressor and oppressed and judging them almost two group statuses. so i understand what they are saying but the outworking of that is what we are being taught in these classrooms. i see my daughter have to go through this and i've seen other parents a

cutting his number of appointees from 1500 to 300, blocking his ability to appoint members to the state boardic control by making the election of supreme court justices partisan rather than non-partisan. this is the essence of situational ethics. and in 2018, republicans ran the same play in wisconsin and michigan after losing the governor's mansions in the midterms. these are the conditions that primed the gop to believe in the big lie because they see any election they lose as illegitimate, no matter the facts. and it extends to blatant disregard for ballot initiatives as well. when floridians overwhelmingly voted to allow former felons to cast a ballot, the gop legislature essentially blocked the provision from taking effect with governor ron desantis leading the charge. again, will of the voters be damned. this ain't subtle, folks. it is a.m. happening on a state and local level. they're hoping people won't notice until it's too late. when they don't have the ability to overturn an election they don't like, they create havoc. is it that's your reality check. >>> good morning to our viewer

for europe also, we need to very much allies together with us, especially united states on board. well, talking about the united states as an ally back in 2017. you want that it was important that the us didn't leave the global arena, or russia would try to take its place. looking at development, for example, embed ruth and the situation ukraine. do you think you are right then? absolutely, i stick to my weather. my been and that time, and now we clearly understand and see and we hearing from their president by the united states, willing to return back and they're clearing that some are getting back. so that's it. be the case. and we wish america to take leadership again and to be on that stage as greatly as it was a few years ago before one administration, let's say, is talking and only together international community can 5 such kinds of detectors . delta guys, a former president of lithuania, many thanks for your thoughts. thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. israel has launched s, right? so the gaza strip, the 1st mili

the 2020 elections and the 2021 runoff georgia, the -- runoff georgia election, the georgia state election board allowed them to drop off absentee ballots in drop boxes. it was widely deployed in the metro atlanta area, where the largest black voting age in georgia resides. during the 2020 election cycle, the 4 most populous counties in the metro atlanta area provided over 100 drop box locations for voters. under the bill, that number is expected to drop to roughly 20. the drafters of s.b. 202 did not stop their efforts at making absentee voting more difficult. historically, minority voters in georgia have been disproportionately more likely to wait in long lines to vote in person on election day. given those long and protracted wait times, civic groups, including churches, have at times provided food and water to voters in line to make their wait more comfortable. s.b. 202 bans the distribution of food and drinks to voters in line as we allege in our complaint, this needless ban was passed with unlawful, discriminatory intent. finally, our complaint challenges a provision of the s.b. 202 that r

>> i am certainly hopeful that governor desantis and the state board of education will expand this ban because i still have two more years at the university of florida. i certainly don't want to be taught critical race theory because it's the exact opposite of what martin luther king jr. envisioned for this country. mlk said he dreams of the day in which people will be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. critical race theory ultimately prohibits mlk's dream from becoming a reality by putting so much emphasis on race and how it affects every single interaction we have with each other. stuart: now its been banned k-12 schools in florida. it's banned. what was the reaction in the state to that, because that's pretty drastic. >> well i think the state board of education certainly made the right decision in ensuring that students are getting a quality education. look, critical race theory has no place in the classroom, especially in a state like florida, where our governor has shown just how pro-america he is florida has been leading the way in reop

it also gives the state elections board power to suspend county or municipal election workers.change that is trying to undermine democracy is not just happening in georgia. laws are being proposed and passed to restrict voting or undermine election officials in arizona, in arkansas, in michigan, in pennsylvania, in texas. the list goes on. we are not in the land of simple peddling disinformation now. we are in a master class now. republican-controlled state legislatures are passing restrictions and punishing election officials to manufacture their preferred outcome. joining me, jocelyn benson, michigan's secretary of state, author of "state's secretaries of state, guardians of the democratic process." also with me kim wailie who wrote a book "what you need to know about voting and why." good morning to both of you. thank you for being with us. secretary bensen, i want to start with you. i was having what i thought was a normal conversation with somebody about these sham audits and recounts that are going on, and he said to me, but shouldn't we want to make sure the system is as

the state board of education declaring they believe the quote, the united states of america is not anot a racist state. they will not support education resources or standards that indoctrinate students in social, political ideology or theory. former georgia elementary school teacher, courtney stokes joins us to react. thank you for being with us. you're not just a mother. you taught as well. >> thank you for having me. will: that gives you an interesting vantage point, courtney. we shouldn't be limiting but maybe expanding. instead of pushing critical race theory out of the classroom make sure there is a counterpoint. you think this ideology, thought process needs to be totally banned and extricated from our education system? >> you know you're looking, i will refer back to the resolution that was passed 11-2 on thursday in georgia. when you look at that, a lot of information, articles came out said essentially that the resolution has banned or limited or eliminated the discussion of race and our racial history in our country. it has not. will: right. >> it says you can teach the sub

is it on the state and local level or on the federal level? guest: this is across the board. local, state, and federal. in recent years, the states have been stepping up. in the past decade, over 35 states have raised user fees and gas taxes and other transportation user fees. this has been done on a bipartisan basis. those politicians at the state level are getting reelected after casting those votes. that is a subtle message for members of congress to hear, also. people are willing to pay for it if they have confidence in the projects that are being invested in. there have been some encouraging signs. i think the federal government needs to step up to be a better partner at this level. the feds have done it before. the creation of the interstate highway system, one of the greatest engineering accomplishments on the planet, was the result of federal leadership, under a republican president, i might add. eisenhower. we can get there. it will take some patience and effort. host: let's take a look at your report on bridges. the report card on bridges and the overall grade being

so in order to get other nuclear states on board, i think russian united states, who still holds 90 percent of the world's nuke arsenals really have to come to the table and start a process. and then bring in other new chrome states when it comes to iran. i mean, a massive amount of energy is being put now to repairing the damage that the trump administration did by withdrawing from the ran deal. so hopefully we can also see a commitment to the van deal today from both sides and the ongoing work to kind of repair that, that much, that was done a bit just in just great to get your perspective, appreciate your time. thanks very much indeed. spirits for the executive director of international campaign to a policy like thank you or pay more still ahead on the news, including accuse of descent, we speak to a family who lost a young son and the income in kashmir. and the process of the years goes wrong, leaving several people in hospital general have detail ah, israel has carried out the 1st and strikes on garza since a sci fi came into effect less than 4 weeks ago. it's military says war planes
