The Guilford County Republican Party has stepped into the fray about statements made by North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson about young children being exposed to sexually explicit materials in the classrooms of public schools and taken out of context.
Robinson, who is North Carolina’s first black lieutenant governor, resides in Greensboro and was an active member of the Guilford County Republican Party before taking office as lieutenant governor, and if he happens to be in town Robinson and his wife, Yolanda, still attend the monthly meeting of the Guilford County Republican Party.
Robinson attracted a national following in 2018 when a video of a three-minute speech about Second Amendment rights he made before the Greensboro City Council went viral.
The statement that follows in full, leaves no doubt about the unwavering support of the Guilford County Republican Party for Robinson.
“The Guilford County Republican Party proudly stands with Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson as he endures the false and malicious attacks of left-wing politicians and media propagandists for exposing the existence of child pornography in our state’s schools.
“We are far more concerned with those who show support for this smut by attacking Robinson, or saying nothing. To include this filth in libraries where it is easily accessible to students, many of whom have not reached puberty, is reprehensible and unacceptable.
“Lt. Gov. Robinson is to be praised and supported as he holds firm to the values he shares with the vast majority of North Carolinians. The Greensboro native is our neighbor and friend, a man of faith who holds no hate toward anyone and believes all citizens are entitled to equal protection of the laws. Yet, after a radical leftist group posted a manipulated video of his June talk at Asbury Baptist Church in Randolph County, his remarks denouncing child pornography were and still are misrepresented by Democrat politicians and the media.
“Robinson speaks for the vast majority of North Carolina citizens when he says schools should not indoctrinate our young children regarding deviant sexual actions. Democrats should explain to their constituents why they believe this material is appropriate for young public school students.
“We pray that God continues to give Lt. Gov. Robinson the strength to withstand the attacks of radical leftists as he stands firmly in defense our school children, our morals, beliefs, state and country.”
Parents should have the right to make sure that their children is NOT exposed to this material. Thanks to anyone that stands up for THE children!!! Teachers today are trying to recruit the children at an early age into this life style. Get rid of any teacher that does NOT comply.
Thumbs up and high five for the Guilford Republicans! I am blown back by their courage. The Democrats don’t seem to have any brains, but it is rare when the Republicans have any ba–s!
Praise God!! Thank you for standing up for Robinson and the teaching in the Bible. This nation needs more strong, moral people to stop being afraid to stand firm.
The current theme from Washington (and Raleigh) is to make us all just give up all our freedoms and let them tell us what we should do and think.
There are millions of us out here who want more folks like you to take a stand reverse the swing of the pendulum before we are a communist country.
AMEN
I have always tried to look at both sides of what is going on in this city that I spent my whole life in. Mark Robinson is a fine man and I support him but lately I’m noticing an ugliness that I don’t care for. There was an editorial in one of the local weeklys that was absolutely disgusting,biased and totally taken out of context. Thank you Mr. Hammer for being fair.
Amen.
North Carolina desperately needs this man to be our next governor.
Yep! Support Mark Robinson by sending a small check (or a big one!) to:

The war is upon us. Now is the time to fight.
Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson speaks for me on this issue. It is indeed our good fortune to have a public official whose point of view isn’t altered by some woke members of the public who probably can’t find their backside with either hand.
I have met the Lt. Governor on several and he has my profound respect.
You are doing a great job Mark and I look forward to voting for you again !!
Yes! Democrats, and others, that believe it is a normal and respectable thing to have these books in the school libraries, STEP forward and explain why you think it is so. Waiting . That’s what I thought.
Nevermind the sorry GOP.
Many of us outside the GOP support Robinson.
The national Republican Party has spent millions of dollars trying to promote itself as an inclusive party. They marched out Gay members of the Republican Party at their last national convention. And now, our own Lt. Governor is message of hatred to Gays.
Robinson has done great damage to the national GOP and our state’s reputation as a progressive state where all its citizens are respected. His own words are enough reason for him to resign immediately. I pray that Robinson listen to his better angels and experience God’s love for all people. After all, we are all God’s children. And Gays have both Robinson and me as brothers. And being gay is not a sin. I call on the NC Republican Party as well as the national Republican Party to condemn Robinson’s words.
I guess you read the News and Record’s twisted account of his words instead of what he actually said. Unless you would like to be falsely accused and maligned, you should be ashamed of yourself.
I have just listened to the speech given by Lt. Gov. Robinson to the NC Renewal Project on April 19, 2021, and did not hear him express any hatred for Gays (or any other group of people). He didn’t say being gay was a sin. You may want to find this speech and listen to all 20+ minutes of it instead of any segments with commentary as edited by media commentators (having the original video is always better than a version edited by a “journalist” who may have their own point of view or motives).
In this speech, Lt. Gov. Robinson did refer to some current music that young people listened to as “filth” (I later heard the media say he had used this term to depict the information presented to students in the classroom regarding sex education). He did say that he didn’t think that teaching about the subject of sex in a classroom was appropriate for kids who were 5,6,7 years old, or that it was proper for a teacher to ask a young kid if they were really a little boy. He has since shown some of the materials used for teaching or in libraries for elementary or middle school on his website and they did seem very inappropriate to me (I was a K-12 certified Reading teacher at one time and did take classes in Library subjects which included approval of books and texts, and I wouldn’t have approved the info for any level K-12). I do think there are some basics of sex education that should be taught in school in science or physical ed. classes around the 6th or 7th grade with the parent’s knowledge, but I believe most of the information should come from the parent, family, doctor, Planned Parenthood, or clinic and not be taught in schools.
I don’t think that Robinson has said anything that warrants a condemnation or calling out of his words. He has only stated what a large number of parents think regarding the information their kids are taught in schools. He wasn’t harmful, mean-spirited, and he didn’t say anything to make people who were other than heterosexual feel excluded. Viewing his original speech may change your mind.
You have to stop with the cancel culture thing over one a single statement or incident. It is childish. Stand up and speak about your disagreement with the guy for sure. Use it to start dialog. Sure you should you don’t support the guy. But saying he should resign over a single statement? Just makes you look triggered and overly sensitive so most people just ignore you.
Leviticus 18:22 – Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.
You are conflating, in a comically immature and simple minded leftist manner, child sexualization with private adult choices. There should be zero sexualization of young children, much less overtly encouraging them to be sexualized and lying to them about their biology. Under the false banner of “inclusivity,” the pedophilic left uses gender ideology and sexual orientation as cover to promote pro-pedophile views Democrats loudly embrace. There is no justification to be teaching anything sexual to young children.
The Democrats promote not only pedophilia by sexualizing young children, but they also embrace child genital mutilation and sterilization. And you think that’s a “good” thing? Never in human history are those the ideologies and practices of the “good guys.” Stay away from my kids!! Far away. I will NOT “include” pro-pedophiles in their life. I proudly exclude those who seek to sexualized children from EVERY aspect of our life.
Could a single Democrat please present a single time in human history the ones promoting child sexualization or genital mutilation were the “good guys”? How about the ones promoting communism? How about the ones demanding others be judged on something as superficial as their skin color?
Only a complete moron could possible believe the racist, child-hating Democrats will be viewed viewed today, tomorrow, or ever as the people with moral superiority. Democrats today embrace blatantly evil ideology.
As the mother of 2 young children in Guilford County, I stand with Mark Robinson. Thank you to our local GOP for growing a set and standing with him too.
I hear this trope a lot. How do Democrats promote sexualization of children?
By talking constantly about their genitals and sex and sexual orientation…… do you even have the balls to look at the books referenced and in public elementary schools? How is giving kids drugs that make their genitals stop growing and redukt in sterilization not genital mutilation? How is showing graphic cartoons of sex to elementary school children not pro-pedophile sexualization if kids. The materials shown are porn. What kind of sicko supports showing porn to kids?
You’re a typical common silly leftist. Teaching kids to judge others on race is racist. Teaching pre-pubescent kids all kinds of ways to have sex is sexualizing children. Giving kids drugs and surgery to permanently mutilate their genitals is genital mutilation. There is no amount of word play or mental gymnastics that changes that.
What do you call it?????
You’re sick Chris…..
By subjecting them to images of sexual perversion.
Is this difficult for you?
“The Guilford County Republican Party proudly stands with Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson as he endures the false and malicious attacks of left-wing politicians and media propagandists for exposing the existence of child pornography in our state’s schools.”
JIM – DID YOU EVEN READ THE ARTICLE?!?!?
You must have never read the Bible. Otherwise you would know God’s opinion of homosexuality. That does not mean you are to be hated or ridiculed. It just means that it is not in God’s plan.
Thank God for a man like Mr. Robinson. The man is a force the marxists of the left will never be able to vanquish. I maxed out my political contribution to him after learning of this. I hope he runs for governor.
Thank you for taking a stand. My husband and I stand with you. We appreciate your fighting for us.
If this “stuff” available in our schools was given to a child of mine by an adult online or in the neighborhood, I would call the police, press charges and hope the creep AT LEAST had to register as a sex offender. They say if they don’t get this creepy stuff in the classroom, they will get it elsewhere. well so be it. Don’t make it look like it is all fine and dandy and endorsed by society. It is NOT! There is such a thing as hepatitis/AIDS and HIV. Schools that endorse this porn has blood on their hands when kids experiment and get those diseases.
Hammer needs to find out if this was county wide or an isolated incident of an overzealous teacher how should be terminated. If county wide, the superintendent needs to finally pushed out the door.
