Pat McCrory appointee brought CRT to North Carolina schools

GOP Senate candidate Pat McCrory once appointed a state school board member who would become instrumental in adding Critical Race Theory to the curriculum in North Carolina public schools. McCrory, the former North Carolina governor, was tasked in December 2014 with replacing an outgoing member of the state school board with his own appointee. McCrory chose Eric Davis. "Eric Davis has a strong background in education oversight, having previously served as chair of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education and on the CMS Superintendent's Standards Review Committee," McCrory said in a statement at the time. "We look forward to his work on the Board and the valuable insights he has gleaned from one of the state's largest school systems.
