GA candidate: Black female opponent can’t win by ‘dusting off copies of The Color Purple’
The Republican nominee for the position of Georgia’s state school superintendent told attendees at a breakfast meeting of the Cobb Republican Party that he will win even if his African-American Democratic opponent “dusts off her VHS copies of The Color Purple.”
According to the Marietta Daily Journal, Richard Woods was in the middle of a discussion about about the importance of bringing “true American history” back into the classrooms.
“We have to make sure that our kids know our history. They are going to know the true American history,” he said. “It will not be liberalism, it will not be progressivism, but it will be something that is based on our Founding Fathers. It will be the Constitution, it will be the Declaration of Independence, it will be the Federalist Papers. We will teach the truth, because last time I heard, the truth will set you free, OK?”
“Come November, again we need to stand together,” he continued, “because we are going to let the Democrats know that they are living on Fantasy Island, OK?”
