Barbara Cooper, secretary of the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education, has resigned from her post, Ivey’s press secretary announced in a statement released to media outlets.

Spokeswoman Gina Maiola said the administration objected to material contained in the National Association for the Education of Young Children Developmentally Appropriate Practice Book 4th Edition, which allegedly features “content that is simply not in line with what the Ivey Administration or the people of Alabama stand for or believe.”
