Statement on concerns about textbook

We are aware of and understand the recent concerns raised about a passage in the textbook used in a senior-level public relations course. To be clear: the textbook is not describing Christians as white supremacists. The author’s reference is to the ‘Christian Identity Movement,’ a U.S.-based extremist group that misuses Christian symbols to promote hate.

We recognize how this mention could be misinterpreted, and we are reviewing the matter. The University of North Georgia respects people of all beliefs and unequivocally rejects all forms of hate.
