NC Board Of Education Approves Controversial New Social Studies Standards On Split Vote

A classroom in Gaston County s W.A. Bess Elementary School. The state Board of Education voted 7-5 Thursday to approve controversial new standards for teaching history and social studies in North Carolina’s public schools. The vote came after hours of board debate over the past two weeks and thousands of comments from the public. The new standards have been in the works for almost two years. They strive to bring more diverse voices into classrooms and help students explore struggles against racism and oppression. Some argued that they shortchange America s strengths and promote a political agenda, while others say they provide a truer picture and encourage all students to be engaged.

Revised social studies standards remain a hot topic for State Board of Education

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson on Wednesday continued to rail against newly revised social studies standards, even as his State Board of Education colleagues searched for common ground. The revisions have stirred controversy in recent weeks because of language Robinson said is “political in nature” and unfairly portrays America as “systematically racist.” The state board discussed the standards Wednesday during its monthly meeting. The board will vote on them Thursday. Robinson said he has a petition signed by more than 27,000 people who don’t want the revisions approved. State board leaders acknowledged having received thousands of emails about the standards.
