2024 NC Governor's race: on Technology


Mark Robinson: Prioritize reading/writing/math, not on teaching science

Former U.S. Rep. Mark Walker made reference to a line in Robinson's autobiography as an example of how the lieutenant governor might undermine public education. In "We Are the Majority: The Life and Passions of a Patriot," released last year, Robinson offers an idea for boosting elementary school scores in reading, writing and math, saying: "We don't need to be teaching social studies. We don't need to be teaching science. We surely don't need to be talking about equity and social justice."

Robinson's campaign spokesman has said Robinson wasn't calling to remove science or social students from the elementary school curriculum, but merely saying the other subjects should receive priority.

Walker said grades one through five are "fundamental times when you learn the science and history" and vowed to keep them in the curriculum.
