GLADYS ROBINSON ON THE FOLLY OF ANTI-ANTI-RACISM: And if you don't want to teach anti-racism, what are we teaching? We ought to be teaching anti-racism. Because the concept is that you are no better than me. And our Children have to learn that because we messed up. We've screwed this place up, to make little children who see the hearts of teachers who care about them rather than their skin color. They see teachers who care about them. These teachers aren't indoctrinating them. That's a bunch of political lies. Even the News & Observer and The Charlotte Observer says there is no fact to what the lieutenant governor says. He can't document it. These children don't have healthcare. Yet in this budget you refused to fund what Leandro demands. You refuse to give them health professionals, counselors, nurses. Give them the resources, build the buildings. All the kids don't go to air-conditioned buildings. Let's build the facilities, let's do what we're here to do. The General Assembly is supposed to be the great equalizer, the entity that pulls up the poorer school districts to give them parity with wealthy ones. It most certainly is not supposed to perpetuate White Supremacist beliefs.

MARK ROBINSON TAKES HIS "TEACHER INDOCTRINATION" CRUSADE TO THE NEXT STEP: Some North Carolina teachers are misusing their position to indoctrinate and influence students, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson claimed in a report he released Tuesday. The “Indoctrination in North Carolina Public Education Report” comes as Robinson and other state Republican leaders are trying to pass legislation that would put new rules on how schools teach about race and racism. GOP leaders say the report, which they insisted is not meant to be a teacher witch hunt, shows that there’s a need to pass legislation regulating what’s taught in schools. But Charlotte-Mecklenburg teacher Justin Parmenter says the complaints he got from the task force as part of a public records request were “dominated by white racial resentment.” I don't believe a damn word coming out of Robinson's mouth. Trump 2.0.
