Related: About this forumNC school voucher dollars are funding Christian Nationalist indoctrination
Shortly after he took over as North Carolinas 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.

Fast forward a couple of years to North Carolinas Republican-controlled General Assembly flipping a legislator, stealing a supermajority, then tripling funding for school vouchers.
With billions of dollars now on tap for North Carolinas private schools, and 88.2% of those dollars going to religious schools, scrutiny is rising over exactly what our taxes are supporting.

Bankrupt out schools, raise compliant, violent progeny and for what?
So scary and a Supreme disappointment.
Thanks for sharing this, BootinUp.
