In recent weeks, school administrators, parents, as well as government officials, have been arguing over how parental control is exercised over school affairs. Over the past year, parents have been more vocal in their opposition to critical race theory being taught in schools and the use of school masks mandates. This has led to the Department of Justice announcing earlier this week that it will work with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in order to address threats to teachers and school board members.
Robinson was elected for the first time in 2020. In the past, Robinson has been headlined for making other comments, including claiming that President Joe Biden is turning the United States into "a socialist hellhole."
