Republican Lt. Governor of North Carolina, Mark Robinson is a fast-rising star in the Republican Party and he operates an education task force in North Carolina and he is not happy about the state of affairs that exist in education.
Robinson said:
“Right now we have a lot of people on the left, on the hard left, who are using our education system basically as their own personal playground to push their own personal agendas. And we’re going to continue to fight to wrestle that away from them and get education back to a place where it should be.”
According to NC Family, who hosted Robinson on their weekly radio program on Saturday:
“The Lieutenant Governor’s F.A.C.T.S. Task Force—which stands for Fairness and Accountability in the Classroom for Teachers and Students—works to support parents, teachers, and students who are “willing to stand up for North Carolina’s future by exposing indoctrination in the classroom, and ensuring that our students are taught how to think, not what to think.”
Robinson further stated:
“We started this task force to give parents, teachers, and students a place where they could bring their complaints, and not just have them heard, but actually figure out a way to do something about this. This is a problem not just in North Carolina; it is a problem all across the country.”
“The standards that we had originally—I had not seen them before I was a famous School Board member— were very good standards. They were very straight to the point. Anyone who’s read them could understand them; there was really no question about them. Some folks objected to those standards for some reason and demanded that some of this so-called social justice language be placed into it.”.
“And, you know, reading over those [new] standards, they read like, I think one School Board member described them as, they were going to give them a title called, ’10 Reasons Why America is a Bad Place.’ I mean, really divisive language saying America is systematically racist, which is just not true.”
Sen Richard Burr will not be running for reelection and Robinson could very well be the guy who can keep that seat in Republican’s hands while supplying a major upgrade in conservatism. He could also0 be thinking about the governorship. I have no doubt he could handle either job with ease.
