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.

I would like to get a common core textbook so I can see for myself what all the hullabaloo is about, but from prior history with New Math I would be very reserved in accommodating parents' positions. They are not teachers, their training may have been suboptimal and they are driven by religious zeal in combination with virtue signaling when you put them together with other parents.
