Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has gone a long way in giving the facade that he is defending our public schools from teaching a “version” of history that “indoctrinates” students with radical beliefs.

In 2021, he started a petition to lobby the very state school board he serves on.

If you have not been following our NC Lt. Governor and cuttent front-runner for the GOP gubernatorial nomination, he is a staunch believer that this country does not have system racism.

From a 2021 Facebook post that was recently highlighted on then NC Policy Watch:

“These divisive standards consistently separate Americans into groups in an effort to undermine our unity. The proposed standards indoctrinate our students against our great country and our founders.”

Many of those same founders owned slaves and those same founders intentionally ignored the issue of slavery in writing policy for the nation when it gained its independence.

But focus on the word “indoctrination” here. According to Merriam Webster online the word “indoctrinate” means:

So here is a man who is telling us what we should teach our students by intentionally pushing his point of view as to what should not be included using his politically partisan social media accounts to keep students from being indoctrinated by a radical agenda.

Sounds like indoctrination in a classic sense.

Then he went on to create F.A.C.T.S.

And you can still issue a complaint on the Lt. Gov.’s official website.

Please note that not a single complaint has led to a merited inestigation of any teachers in this state.

Here are the criteria for submission:

What to submit:

• Examples of discrimination or harassment related to a student’s faith, ethnicity, worldview, or political beliefs;
• Examples of unequal, inconsistent, or disparate treatment of students in the enforcement of school rules and/or in disciplinary matters;
• Examples of students being subjected to indoctrination according to a political agenda or ideology, whether through assigned work, teacher comments, or a hostile classroom environment;
• Examples of students being required to disclose details regarding their individual race/ethnicity, sexual preference, religious ideology, or economic status
• Examples of students being exposed to inappropriate content or subject matter in the classroom, including matters relating to substance abuse, profanity, or of a sexual nature.

Examples concerning faith, ethnicity, worldview, or political beliefs? Examples of being subjected to indoctrination according to a political agenda or ideology? Examples of disclosing details regarding their individual race/ethnicity, sexual preference, religious ideology, or economic status? Examples of being exposed to inappropriate content or subject matter including matters of a sexual nature?

And how unsurprisingly ironic that the man who claims to be weeding out “worldviews” or “political beliefs” or “political agendas” or the use of “individual race/ethnicity, sexual preference, religious ideology” would want students to study people like Hitler and Mao.

Recently at a Moms For Liberty conference in Philadelphia, Robinson said:

“And here’s the thing: Whether you’re talking about Adolf Hitler; whether you’re talking about Chairman Mao; whether you’re talking about Stalin; whether you’re talking about Pol Pot; whether you’re talking about Castro in Cuba; or whether you’re talking about a dozen other despots all around the globe; it is time for us to get back and start reading some of those quotes.”

Read that again.
