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.

" The absolute worst was having the right answer, knowing you've got the right answer, but you're wrong anyway because the others in the group inexplicably agreed on some wrong answer, so that's your groups answer."
That's like being the only sober person in the car and no one will let you drive.
Yeah, this working on a subject matter as a group sounds like it would work pretty well in foreign language class, but for math, not so much.
