Re. news that @MarkRJohnsonNC is running for Lt Gov: I’m delighted to hear that there's no chance that Johnson will serve another term as state superintendent. His tenure has been devastating for DPI, and it’s past time for us to rebuild. #nced #ncpol #ncga

@MarkRJohnsonNC This announcement is bound to renew speculation that Union County Representative @dcraighorn may run for superintendent. It's really hard to find someone less qualified to run our state's entire school system than Mark Johnson...#nced #ncpol #ncga

...but Horn would be it. The 0 years working in schools is disqualifying enough, but Horn also brings the highly relevant baggage of having voted for or hatched some of the legislative changes most damaging to public education in our state. #nced #ncga #ncpol

...from his vote to remove the charter cap way back in April of 2011 to his absurd proposal this year to put North Carolina's poorest 4 year olds on virtual Pre-K rather than working to identify and remove obstacles to their participation in actual Pre-K. #ncga #nced #ncpol

So that's a hard pass by pretty much anyone who has worked in public schools and paid attention to changes in education policy for the last decade or so on the idea of Craig Horn as state superintendent. #ncga #nced #ncpol
