INBOX: Wake County Schools issues a statement about the Capitol protests. This is the notification sent to families.

#wcpss
District statement reads in part:
"We have a responsibility to understand how this is a teachable moment, a moment that strengthens public education, and a moment that also acknowledges this crisis in our democracy."

No mention that parents should first 'teach' this moment.

Links to "Psychological First Aid" & "civil discourse" resources follow the statement.
Pretty sure no such resources were offered during the riots that persisted throughout 2020.

One of those discourse "resources" is the left-leaning Facing History, which according to Influence Watch "presents the history of the United States as one of racial injustice," and negatively portrays police and American institutions.

Here we go again with the pseudo psych test BIMAS-2.

And again, our family was not sent a letter. Was yours?

#wcpss
#WCPSS still hasn't answered my Qs on where the BIMAS-2 data is stored, who has access, how it is being used but they have put up this worthless FAQ:
wcpss.net/Page/41740

One of my favs... only true if you actually were notified.
If not, they automatically screen your kid.
Also, your kid's psychological assessment is sitting on a "secure server" somewhere in #WCPSS.

Greetings Professor Falcon, shall we play a game?

Official in Guilford County says commissioners & BOE members there were just notified that @GCSchoolsNC Supt. @scontrerasGCS approved busing students to voting locations to allegedly 'influence the Dem primary'.

Last panel of the PS1NC forum .
First speaker is Richard Kahlenberg of the "Century Foundation."
He starts out by mocking the 'days of the racist tea party'.
The Century Foundation is a "progressive nonpartisan" think tank.

The board includes former Obama adviser Mark Zuckerman & Ed Sec John King.

Kahlenberg says "diversity makes us smarter."
Kahlenberg is referring to the 1966 Coleman report that said Socioeconomic status is the biggest predictor of Ed success.
Also a 2019 report that reasserts that.
Doesn't address that despite integration, achievement has stalled.

Back from the break at the PS1NC 'privatization of public schools' forum.
Up now is a panel of teachers, all of whom are affiliated with the NCAE, Red4Ed or both.
Red4Ed leader Angie Scioli is giving written remarks throwing shade on charters, claiming dirty classrooms, nepotism, and sketchy benefits.

Scioli was one of several who helped foment the May Day strike this year.
Scioli gives anonymous anecdotes of charter teachers bring untrained and schools bring "dumpster fires."
Asked random kids on camping trip this summer about their school ...
