Empower Hotline has reportedly been contacted about 35,000 times since the launch, a majority of which were prank calls
It has been one year since Arizona Superintendent Tom Horne launched a hotline allowing parents and community members to bring up issues and controversial teachings in schools.
“That’s mostly crank calls. In fact, people used bots, robots from out of state to flood us, thinking it would cause us to stop the hotline,” Horne said. “They didn’t want parents to be able to communicate with us. Strange.” The Empower Hotline website says reports can be made about lessons involving"race or ethnicity, rather than individuals and merit, promoting gender ideology, social-emotional learning, or inappropriate sexual content." This would include critical race theory, which educators have long denied being taught in schools.
