On Monday, WRAL reported that North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the highest-ranking Republican in the state, called for eliminating science and history classes from elementary schools.

In his memoir, "We Are the Majority: The Life and Passions of a Patriot," according to reporter Bryan Anderson, "Robinson is dropping more hints about a potential run for governor in 2024. And, if elected, he says he'd work to keep science and history out of some elementary school classrooms. He says he'd also seek to eliminate the State Board of Education, end abortion and work to prevent transgender people from serving in the military."
