ATLANTA — Republicans in the state Senate Monday defended legislation prohibiting the teaching of critical race theory in Georgia schools from criticism by Democrats that the bill would stifle honest discussion of America's history of systemic racism.

"We're not perfect. Our history is stained with racism," Sen. Bo Hatchett, R-Cornelia, the bill's chief sponsor, told members of the Senate Education and Youth Committee. "In no way shape or form is it my intention to prevent history being taught to students."
