In North Carolina, parents are even more unset about politics in the classroom. A poll last year by the Civitas Institute found that 71% of North Carolinian parents were concerned about political indoctrination of students in the public shcools.

Yet, NC has Roy Cooper appointees on the state Board of Education going farther and injecting political indoctrination into the very curriculum with its highly politicized new social studies curriculum.
