CHARLOTTE — Congressman Robert Pittenger said Friday that he wants U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to look into reports that schools are indoctrinating students with an anti-gun political agenda.

His prime example: Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools’ reaction to a principal’s videotaped remarks about gun culture, delivered during a student “walkout” at Collinswood Language Academy to demand safer schools. Student organizers and several parents said the comments, which interrupted a guest speaker, were inappropriate.

In response to a Charlotte Observer query, CMS said that “appropriate actions have and will be taken to address concerns regarding this incident.”

“Incident? An educator shared a different viewpoint with her students and encouraged them to get to know her. Quick! Call the thought police,” Pittenger wrote in a weekly column for The Robesonian newspaper.

“An educator shared a different viewpoint with her students and encouraged them to get to know her.”

When 100% of your students are performing at or above grade level you can share your viewpoints. Until then keep them to yourself and do your damned job.

Is that you David Hogg? And what have you done with Lurker?

How about the principal does the damned job. She’s not paid to give her opinions. She’s paid to run a functioning school that educates kids. When every kid is at or above grade level, maybe.

Until then educate.

If you read what she told them, you’d realize she WAS trying to educate them.

Other than that, you’re no better than a Leftist mob screaming down opposing views.
