Here's the article that quote came from.
It goes on to recite the same lines we've heard for a decade now about black students, yet like Ford's CREED project, offers no solutions save one... (next tweet) ncpolicywatch.com/2019/08/20/sta… #nced
SBE Chairman Eric Davis gave us a hint:
“This is our intentional effort to push back on those forces and to do things to create a necessary change so that every student in North Carolina gets the education we need them to have and they deserve."
Success = “where there’s no discernible difference in the academic achievement of our students across racial, ethnic, geographic, economic or any other type of line.”
So, the goal is everyone does the same even if it's awful?
Lofty. #nced
"Notably absent from the plan are any general statements about public school funding."
Ah, there it is. More money for a set of undefined buzzwords & social justice programs masquerading as academics?
Equity will cost $$. Just ask #WCPSS whose Office of Equity Affairs costs taxpayers over $1 million a year.
And what will the Board of Ed's Strategic Equity Plan include? #nced
"increasing the number of culturally-relevant and equity-focused resources for teachers.."
What does that mean?
It sounds a lot like #WCPSS's "equity framework" which mimics the controversial SPLC's Teaching Tolerance Anti-Bias Framework. shorturl.at/wCV47 #nced

This image is being pulled from "School Vouchers in North Carolina 2014-2020" published by Duke University's Children's Law Clinic. It was written by Jane Wettach in 2020 with an underlying premise that Private schools should mimick public schools.
My 2020 digging exposing "whiteness in Ed spaces" and how to suppress parent pushback was highlighted in the first article in a series by @realchrisrufo city-journal.org/critical-race-…
It's worth noting that due to the Medicaid Expansion deal, NSJ was told by various sources the governor will sign whatever budget comes out of the #NCGA
Notably, the governor fails to mention the explosion in homeschooling, charter enrollment, and private school enrollment following his pandemic school closures.
These aren't wealthy folks, it's folks from all income levels.
Breaking: NC Supreme Court's Dem majority is forcing the Leandro fund transfer & sending it back to the trial court to determine the calculation.
Newby, Berger & Barringer dissent. appellate.nccourts.org/opinions/?c=1&… #nced#ncpol#ncga
Berger's dissent reiterates the legislature, not the court, has the power of the purse.
He also notes "the majority takes it upon itself to resolve issues in this case without notice and in the face of this Court’s order to the contrary"
Just cycled through the channels. No major network appears to be televising the president's speech.
Most outlets have it streaming on their websites, however.
Maybe it was a space issue. This is the shot from the back after the speech ended.
Gov. Ops subcommittee on hurricanes should be back sometime after 12:30 from recess.

I'll be tweeting some, but probably not as much as the first half:
