Upset about test scores? Then fund kids. Fund education. Give them housing, food, clothes and resources. Start with diapers, start with their families and their health. Give them books to read, childcare, and early education with lots of play. #nced#ncpol
This, all day long. The roadmap has been in place for a long time, but Republicans refuse to take part. If they were just twiddling their thumbs, it would be bad enough. But they're shoveling tons of taxpayer dollars into private school vouchers, while lowballing public schools. Their legacy of bad behavior will haunt us for decades.
If a NC voter missed last Friday's deadline for registering to vote, have no fear:
You can "Same Day Register" during in-person early voting (Thursday, Oct. 20 thru Sat, Nov. 5) *and* cast your absentee onestop (in-person) ballot at the same time: https://t.co/acpTGneEzO#ncpolhttps://t.co/N9k6ffPAaU
And there are considerably more early voting sites this year than the last mid-term election. But you should go early (early), because there will likely be long lines. Gerry has a link to all the locations right here:
The deadline to register for the 2022 Mid-Term Elections is this Friday. If you have moved (even just a block away) you need to update your registration. If you miss that deadline you can still same-day register & vote at early voting locations, but it's best to do it ahead of time.
Which is why I do my best to ignore polls, of any sort. Half of them are push-polls, nudging people to choose a particular opinion, and others give you a "middle of the road" option that is not present on the real ballot. And a false sense of security (or insecurity) does not help anyone.
“Our children need action now. We must not lose any more time — another generation of students — before we do what is right by them,” said Tamika Walker Kelly, president of the North Carolina Association of Educators. https://t.co/nWAxuhiQg6#nced#ncpol#LeadwithLeandro#ncga
Nothing short of infuriating. Insulin costs about ten bucks (per vial) to make, but they've been selling it for $300+. That's after all the outrage a few years ago when they jacked up the price to near $700. Capping that price would save untold lives every year, but Republicans just don't care.
RT for awareness but it is a sad state of affairs in NC that classrooms in public schools are not equipped with adequate supplies without external help #ncpolhttps://t.co/ms9TNO8d4E
It's nothing short of infuriating. Teachers and their advocates have been purchasing basic education supplies out of their pockets for years, but most parents don't bat an eye. Meanwhile BergerMoore is throwing another $100 million at private school vouchers. Grrr...
