Immigrant population fueling Democrats on rise in Forsyth County

7/7/2023

 

"I didn't have to log many miles on my Georgia politics road trip this week to find a big political story.  And one of the biggest in the state is happening just north of Atlanta in Forsyth County, where the politics of the once rural county are changing as rapidly as the faces there...
Nobody may embody the changing politics of Forsyth better than Kannan Udayarajan, who immigrated from India in 2007, became a citizen in 2017, and is now the chair of the Forsyth County Democratic Party.
" - Patricia Murphy Reporter for AJC

"I still remember telling my father back home in India that hey, this is why American democracy is so great...I always tell people that it wouldn't happen in India and that it happened in Forsyth County of all places is a huge thing.  It just shows how great this country is." -Kannan Udayarajan Chairman of the Forsyth County Democrats

Statement on Civil Rights Agreement Over Book Bans in Forsyth County

7/7/2023

 
According to public filings, on May 19, 2023, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) posted a Letter detailing the outcome of its investigation along with an official Resolution Agreement for the district to follow over the next academic year. Through the first half of 2022, the District pursued a policy to remove books with both LGBTQ and BiPOC themes, characters, and stories. With the release of the Letter and Resolution Agreement, we see clearly that the removal of books from Forsyth County School libraries - combined with a continued hostile rhetorical environment for racial and sexual minority students - violated students' civil rights.
