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.

Apparently some of you have been learning this math for millennials. Most definitions for millennials put their birth year in the early 80s to around 2000. The most accepted dates defined by the pew research center are 1981-1996. Some quick math with that definition tells me even the youngest of them are something like 5th year seniors - in college. In fact, it is very likely that this Blain Dillard being sued is actually... a millennial. Find a new term to start using for your angst about kids these days. Now I'll get off your lawn.

No, that's alright, you can stay. The wife says she likes that pointy headed blue gnome I put beside the mailbox. Tell you what, you stay right there, and I'll bring you a couple sixpacks every week.
