Documents obtained by Heritage Action revealed that Gwinnett County Public Schools, the largest public school district in the state of Georgia, admitted plans to teach both critical race theorist and Marxist thought to students enrolled in an AP Language and AP Research Combination Class. In an audit syllabus obtained by Heritage Action, the school district remarked that “Students will bridge the skills from AP Language to AP Research, analyzing the value of using different lenses in social criticism (Critical Race Theory, Feminist, Marxist, Psychoanalytic) to aid their analysis across issues, and the class will discuss how these perspectives apply to...

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is highlighting the difficulties faced by Gwinnett County elections workers due to short-sighted activist lawsuits. As a result of a lawsuit filed by the Democratic Party of Georgia, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Gwinnett County voters will receive absentee ballots more slowly than voters in the rest of Georgia. “This is why elections administration 101 is to not change the rules in the middle of the game,” said Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. “Georgia’s elections staff and poll workers have a large enough task ahead of them executing an...

For years, Emory Morsberger has been a proponent of the possibilities along the Ga. 316 corridor. So when Gwinnett leaders on Tuesday approved up to $72 million in loans for a massive development, Rowen, that could eventually bring more than 50,000 jobs to 2,000 acres outside Dacula, he didn’t mind that the public never got to weigh in on the proposal.

Yesterday we looked at the story of how the Blue Lives Matter website was probably going to be shut down because the idea of supporting the police and reporting on incidents of violence toward them was so “offensive” to certain people. Well, less than 24 hours later, the site is gone. Any links going to particular articles on the site redirect to a statement explaining why the site is “stepping back” to retool their operation, but they plan to return on a different platform in the near future. That’s a shame, because they were covering a lot of stories that...

The Gwinnett County Police Department have arrested three people for allegedly damaging patrol cars this week, days after police used a TASER on, and arrested, one of the suspects during a protest in unincorporated Lawrenceville. Police are also asking for help from the public to identify possible suspects involved in a separate incident. Police said that sometime between 10 p.m. and midnight on Tuesday two patrol cars were targeted with Molotov cocktails at the homes of Gwinnett officers who live in Duluth and Lawrenceville. In the first incident, a caller told the 911 Center that a Gwinnett patrol car was...

Gwinnett County is committing $5 million to help find ways to relieve traffic congestion on Interstate 85. County commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding with the Georgia Department of Transportation to conduct an I-85 Corridor Study Tuesday. The money that will be spent on work related to the study and will be spread across four years; state transportation officials have agreed to match the county’s contribution. That means Georgia and Gwinnett County officials will spend a total of $10 million over nearly half of the next decade studying and beginning to do some work on I-85. “We’re looking at potential...

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - A Gwinnett County man released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody to help care for his medically-challenged child does not have the OK to stay. He's now being told to leave the country on his own or be picked up again. Channel 2’s Tony Thomas first brought the story to officials in March, which then the 44-year-old father was immediately released from ICE custody. The family thought he'd be able to stay and help care for his daughter, but now the family said they're being told he must leave by June 20. “If I decide I...

If Gwinnett voters approve a renewal of the county’s one cent special purpose local option sales tax next month, some of that money will be used to improve emergency response times at the county’s 132 schools and the four schools in the city of Buford. Commissioners have voted to spend up to $5 million on the emergency notification system that would be linked directly to the county’s 911 operations center. Gwinnett Police Chief Charles Walters says it would include a panic button as well as video cameras. “The camera feeds will enable the 911 call takers to provide real-time information...

A controversial program to identify illegal immigrants in the Gwinnett County Jail has been in operation a little more than a year, and officials say the program already is saving money and bed space. So far, deputies have identified 3,034 inmates who were in the United States illegally, about half of whom ultimately were removed from the country after immigration proceedings. "I'm very pleased with the program so far," Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway said. "It has saved the county millions of dollars." As part of the county's participation in a local-federal partnership called the 287(g) program, which officially began...

LAWRENCEVILLE — As of Tuesday, the controversial 287 (g) program meant to grease the deportation process had been active for a year in Gwinnett, and its impact appears to be significant. Most telling among the fertile, statistical soil that 287 (g) has sown is this number: 28 percent. That’s how much the total number of foreign-born jail bookings has dropped since 287 (g) was activated on Nov. 16, 2009. That’s 4,289 fewer inmates compared to the previous year. The cost to house an inmate is $45 per day, meaning the county saved roughly $130,000 for each day those inmates weren’t...

In some ways, the traveling taco stand has become a symbol of the rise of Hispanics in the US. Here in Gwinnett County, Ga., it wasn't any different - until lawmakers outlawed the $1 street-corner taco vendor last month. Hispanic purveyors of the workingman's lunch represent an immigration policy many Americans feel has gone haywire. In many interior states where the Hispanic immigration had been minimal until recently, residents are encountering more new faces speaking an incomprehensible language and infiltrating street corners with their cilantro-spiced fare. In resisting the sudden and growing influence of Latino culture, some cities and towns...

Last Tuesday (September 27th) the voters of Georgia House District 106 elected Melvin Everson in a Special Election Runoff. The results were extremely close with a final margin of only 27 votes (final results here). In the interest of full disclosure I must tell you that I was the campaign manager for the Everson campaign and am obviously pleased with the result. Now that the campaign is over I would like to make some comments and do my best not to appear self-congratulatory. I agreed to manage the Everson campaign because I consider Melvin a friend and I know first...

Why I am Leaving the Episcopal Church I am forty-five years old and for thirty-four of those years I have been an active participant in the Episcopal Church. I was baptized, confirmed, married, ordained a deacon, and ordained a priest in the Episcopal Church. It has served to shape and form me spiritually and it has taught me tremendous aspects into the worship of Almighty God. The Church has been a place of stability and refuge, although it has always been in need of reform.  But recent actions of the Episcopal Church have taken spiritual depravi­ty to new depth for the modern...
