A parent whose child goes to a high school in the Wake County Public School System has been sued after criticizing the math curriculum used in the district.
Utah-based "Mathematics Vision Project" or "MVP," filed a lawsuit against Blain Dillard, whose son attends Green Hope High in Cary.
Dillard has been vocal about his opposition to the MVP curriculum, which is student-driven and focuses on group work, posting on his website, blog and social media.
The lawsuit obtained by ABC11 said, "In or around March 2019, Dillard commenced a crusade against MVP, claiming that MVP is ineffective and has harmed many students."
It alleges that some of Dillard's statements were false and defamatory and harmed the company financially.

Uhm... it seems obvious, but the child is expected to understand that the problem is a math problem and use the numbers.
Substituting the names of the people in the word problem isn't the same as talking about the numbers.
You're failing to notice the existence of the exact mental task that the children are being taught.
It isn't an algebra problem, and "Jack's pizza" was a given description, not a variable name.
These are just examples of why having ignorant parents reduces a student's test scores.
