North Carolina's public voucher dollars are funding Christian Nationalist indoctrination in schools

https://notesfromthechalkboard.com/2024/03/09/north-carolinas-public-voucher-dollars-are-funding-christian-nationalist-indoctrination-in-schools/

Shortly after he took over as North Carolina’s Lieutenant Governor in 2021, current Republican candidate for governor Mark Robinson launched a task force to root out indoctrination in our public schools.

Robinson claimed indoctrination was a widespread problem and set up an online portal to solicit complaints about educators from the public. The majority of the submissions Robinson received were from people who took issue with his politically-motivated witch hunt and saw an opportunity to roast him over it.

As for the actual complaints about educators, Robinson published those online without substantiating a single one and didn’t bother to redact names of educators or worksites. Those complaints were dominated by white racial resentment (remember, this was at the height of the fake outrage over critical race theory) and included suggestions such as canceling Black History Month and not talking so much about slavery because it’s “getting old.”

In terms of actual indoctrination unearthed, Robinson’s witch hunt was a complete nothing burger.

Fast forward a couple of years to North Carolina’s Republican-controlled General Assembly flipping a legislator, stealing a supermajority, then tripling funding for school vouchers.

How are we suppose to groom GQP Governors?
We gotta finance God’s will. You can’t propagate the brilliance of a Robinson in those woke liberal public brainwashing gay filled schools with evil books.
God Bless North Carolina.
Send money.
