The article seems really thin on the actual details of the suit. He’s being sued for defamation not critiques. It’s entirely possible that he has been making outrageous defamatory attacks during his campaign.
Parents should be allowed to be involved in their children’s curriculum, but that doesn’t mean they get a card Blanche to assault any companies involved that they don’t like.

I joined the facebook group when I first heard about this case. Some parents have complained that at some wake county middle and high schools, the math teachers are not even instructing the kids under penalty of punishment from the WCPSS administration. The kids at those schools are being placed into groups and left to figure out the math entirely on their own. At other schools in the district using the same curriculum teachers are still using traditional direct instruction, but they are all being grouped together when measuring the results county wide.
