Project 2025’s education vision is “either highly ignorant of or highly dismissive of a 200-year commitment to public education w/ the understanding that democracy itself rests upon it. You’ve really got to worry about how America moves forward” w/o pub ed azcir.org/news/2024/08/0…
We’re just 3 months away from Election Day! Together, we’ve built a strong grassroots campaign that is ready to win and create a safer, stronger North Carolina.
We're expanding our North Carolina Equity Fellowship with a new Learning Differences Fellow! Special Education teachers from across NC are encouraged to apply! 🔗docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
Our public schools — especially in rural areas — are underfunded. As Governor, I will work across the aisle to ensure schools and educators have the resources they need for our students to thrive.
The application is NOW OPEN for the North Carolina Equity Fellowship‼️ The objective of the Fellowship is to develop leaders equipped to reverse the trends of racial inequity by turning thoughts into action Interested? Learn more and apply ⤵️ docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

"There is a stark difference between the two of us. I have nothing against someone who homeschools their children, but I believe in our public schools as opposed to someone who calls them socialist and indoctrination centers." 🔗 cardinalpine.com/2024/07/31/202…
For Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6-10: Chocolate and Starbucks cards are great, but please consider reaching back in time to a teacher who made a difference in your life. Tell them what you appreciate/d about them specifically, how they helped you and what you’re doing now…
Legislators pushing vouchers have not only subverted state constitutions but the people’s will: “73% of participants [nationally] said funds should go to public schools,” not private schools. Even a majority of higher income republicans oppose vouchers. 1/ edsurge.com/news/2024-04-2…
Michele Morrow, Republican running to lead NC's diverse k-12 schools, says "Islam is evil," Muslims should be banned from elected office notesfromthechalkboard.com/2024/04/27/rep… via @ChalkboardNotes #ncpol #nced
More than 8 out of 10 school-aged children in North Carolina attend public schools. Investing in public education means investing in the future of North Carolina. wnct.com/on-your-side/s…
