Mark Robinson Strikes Again

Andrea Widburg at the American Thinker today highlights North Carolina's own Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson in a post entitled Lt. Governor Mark Robinson Refuses To Back Down Before the LGBTQ Crowd. I have liked Mark Robinson since I first heard him speak. He says exactly what the rest of us are thinking and minces no words.

Teaching them [children] a bunch of stuff about how to hate America, teach them a bunch of stuff about why they’re racist, teach them a bunch of stuff about transgenderism and homosexuality. I’m saying this now and I’ve been saying it, and I don’t care who watches. Those issues have no place in a school. There’s no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth. And yes, I called it filth. And if you don’t like it that I called it filth, come see me and I’ll explain it to you. It’s time for us to step letting these children be abused at these schools. And it’s not going until the people of God stand up and demand differently.

Besides listening to him speak at the church, you should also watch the video where he shows you exactly the kind of "literature" he is talking about. This sort of pornography doesn't belong in any school, much less in elementary schools. What adults do in private is their own business.

But let's be real here, for a moment. The purpose of schooling is to teach certain very specific types of knowledge and skills necessary for students to function in society. It is not to teach things students will learn anyway. Schools do not teach, for example, how to walk. Students learn how to walk on their own. Schools really shouldn't teach students computer usage, because this can also be learned without the aid of a teacher. I did. And certainly pornography should not be in the school library. Students can find that sort of filth without the help of the state. Indeed, the human species has figured out what to do to be fruitful and multiply pretty much without the helpful aid of teachers, so that should be dropped as well. 

I don't know Mark Robinson's political ambitions, but the more I see of him, the more I like.
