Commercial: DRAKE Story 1: Woods defends dropping AP African American studies course State School Superintendent Richard Woods faced criticism after deciding against adding an Advanced Placement African-American studies course to Georgia's curriculum for the upcoming school year. Woods defended his stance, emphasizing that schools can still teach the course using existing standards or local curriculum choices. He expressed concerns about endorsing the entire AP course but assured that districts opting to use the African-American Studies course code from 2020 would receive state funding. Critics, including educators and Democratic lawmakers, argued that the decision hindered inclusive education and cited opposition to previous legislation limiting how U.S. history can be taught in schools. Story 2: Gunman flew drone over Trump rally area before shooting: FBI Chief Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old gunman, attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, firing shots with an AR-style assault rifle. FBI Director Christopher Wray testified that Crooks flew a drone over the rally area two hours before the shooting but did not specify a motive. Crooks, positioned on a nearby building's roof, was swiftly killed by a Secret Service sniper. The incident left Trump injured, two attendees wounded, and a Pennsylvania firefighter dead. Wray disclosed that Crooks had crude explosive devices and a transmitter, although their detonation capability was limited. The FBI is investigating Crooks' internet searches and motive, finding a focus on public figures and Trump in recent days preceding the attempt. No evidence of accomplices has been found. Story 3: Trump Lead Over Harris in Georgia Within Margin of Error Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are in a close contest in Georgia, according to a recent poll by Landmark Communications. Trump holds a slight lead over Harris among 400 likely voters, with 48.0% to 46.7%, within the 5% margin of error. Harris, now the presumptive Democratic nominee after Joe Biden's withdrawal, fares better than Biden did previously against Trump in Georgia. In a broader six-way race including other candidates, Trump leads with 45.8% to Harris's 44.3%. Harris performs strongly among younger, Black, and female voters, leading in these demographics, while Trump maintains an edge among older and white voters. Both candidates overwhelmingly secure support within their party bases, with independents favoring Harris by 9.1 percentage points.

At a hearing chaired by U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff, doctors expressed concerns that the law forces women into high-risk pregnancies and impedes their access to reproductive healthcare. The legislation prohibits most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, a timeframe when fetal heartbeat can be detected. Exceptions for rape, incest, and medical emergencies are included, but doctors argue these are insufficient. They contend that the law limits their ability to provide comprehensive care, leading some doctors to leave the state. The issue remains contentious in the context of national abortion policy debates ahead of the presidential election. Story 5: Floyd County Oks New RV Park in Cave Spring Over Opposition Floyd County Commissioners unanimously approved a special use permit for an RV park near Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center in Cave Spring after revisions were made to address concerns. Owner Anthony Carver assured officials of a viable septic system and road upgrades. Nearby residents had raised issues about traffic safety, flooding risks, and potential crime. The approval includes conditions like limiting RV spaces to 50 and upgrading Davis Road to county standards. In another decision, the board narrowly approved a $2.2 million solar farm despite staff concerns about land use, citing its potential ...
