Amy Ray at Asheville High, Asheville City Schools (Review #85). Teachers, staff, and administration seems largely unaware of their participation in political and religious bias against conservatives because they have no training in regarding to satisfying these parents' concerns. Alienating conservatives alienates a large % of families and has led to a decline in enrolment in the public school system generally. (February 15, 2024) Published View Details

Jim Tracy at Montford North Star Academy, Asheville City Schools (Review #81). Teacher talks about how much he hates his dad. This seems like an inappropriate personal detail and could lead to enmity between kids and their parents. To befriend students, he teaches them how to convince parents to buy them smart phones. Teachers should not get involved in parent decisions, or make parents' lives more difficult. (September 20, 2023) Published View Details
Unknown at Isaac Dickson Elementary, Asheville City Schools (Review #80). Sex Education Class at Isaac Dickson promotes Buddhist meditation, in Lotus pose, with palms open.

Derek Edwards at Asheville High, Asheville City Schools (Review #79). My son can't go to the bathroom here because it is filled with a cloud of marijuana smoke. The administration knows this but does nothing about it. (September 13, 2023) Published View Details
Matt Leggat at Montford North Star Academy, Asheville City Schools (Review #78). Matt teaches children that Black People getting married, going to church, and quitting smoking and drinking is basically living like a White Person. I find that statement racist. I know many black people who authentically go to church, get married, and don't drink or smoke. (September 12, 2023) Published View Details
Jordan Diamond at Vance Elementary, Asheville City Schools (Review #77). Garden coordinator Jordan Diamond evangelizes Tibetan religions on campus.

Chad Anderson at School Of Inquiry And Life Sciences, Asheville City Schools (Review #71).

Swain, Jesse at Asheville High, Asheville City Schools (Review #70). The teacher doesn't give the kids activities.

Hilliard, Lori at Asheville High, Asheville City Schools (Review #60). Lori Hilliard's play "Dracula, a feminist revenge fantasy" is sexist against men generally, and bigoted against Christians. She inappropriately cast teenage high school girls in roles that required them to seduce a married man. Students should not be learning how to sexualize their body language at school. Lori directed them to recite the Our Father... (November 1, 2022) Published View Details
Ruletta Hughes at Isaac Dickson Elementary, Asheville City Schools (Review #58). The ACS Student Code of Conduct was a liability waiver in disguise. The parent signature page said, "I agree to ... Assume legal responsibility for my child's behavior, as determined by the law and community practice." Should teachers and staff share liability for how the students behave while under their influence? The school did not advise parents to... (September 13, 2022) Published View Details

Matt Leggat at Montford North Star Academy, Asheville City Schools (Review #40). Hi Everybody, Mr. Leggat just sent us a survey that he will be teaching our kids from the Critical Race Theory book Stamped. I know he uses Howard Zinn's "People's History of the United States." These books are strongly anti-American and left leaning.
My concern is a lack of political diversity in his class. Are our children getting a balanced... (December 20, 2021) Published View Details
Kristen Moore regarding Transgender Indoctrination at Montford North Star Academy (Review #37). Recently I was disturbed to find out you asked all students in your class for their preferred gender pronouns. I have some questions about your policy in this area:
1) You are tacitly communicating to my child that gender is a choice rather than a biological fact. Young children, especially around puberty, naturally idealize the opposite sex, and may...
