“No one believes” is a very Trumpian take which is completely unsurprising considering Bishop’s primary allegiance is to Donald Trump rather than to his constituents.

I’d contend lots of people view a bathroom full of nuclear secrets as a “bona fide security concern.” #ncpol Image
I’d contend that plenty of people believe Trump waving confidential plans to attack Iran in front of his fans and saying, “…it is like, highly confidential. Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this” is a bona fide security concern.
Bishop also helped cause the January 6 coup attempt that killed Capitol police officers by repeating election fraud lies.

He unpinned this tweet the same day the insurrection happened like a total coward. Image
The bottom line is @RepDanBishop is one of the blind syncophants Trump was referring to when he said he could shoot someone on Fifth Ave and still not lose support.

And we need to make damn sure North Carolina never elects either one of these men ever again. #ncpol
Read the indictment for yourself. No reasonable person could read this indictment and draw Bishop's conclusions.

The racist history of school vouchers, a brief thread:

#nced #ncpol #ncga Image
The roots of school vouchers in our country can be traced back to the wake of Brown vs. Board of Education, the Supreme Court court case in which justices ruled that racial segregation of children in public schools violated the Constitution. history.com/topics/black-h…
Following this ruling, white leaders in many communities tried all kinds of devious ways to subvert it.  In Virginia, those efforts included eliminating taxes in order to defund schools and closing them rather than simply allowing racial integration. americanprogress.org/article/racist…

With massive voucher expansion on the way, it’s time to review the North Carolina school privatizer playbook!!

#ncga #ncga #nced  🧵
1. Republicans take over control of state legislature.  Draw maps that ensure nobody can vote you out regardless of how terrible your leadership is.  Take over Supreme Court so maps can’t be challenged.
2. Create a school performance grade system that reinforces the narrative that schools struggling with poverty and impacts of institutional racism are failures.

Good time to re-share my favorite submissions to Lt. Governor @markrobinsonNC’s leftist teacher indoctrination complaint portal:

notesfromthechalkboard.com/2021/07/03/man… #nced #ncpol
My daughter is a freshman and in her class last week she was told by her History teacher that she had to use Times New Roman font in her essay.  We are offended because the Romans killed Jesus!  I can't believe her school hates the lord!! Image
My daughter's teacher recently Ms. Peffercorn was teaching the kids about left angles in her 4th grade math class.  Now I'm concerned that she is being indoctrinated with liberal propaganda because they never taught her about right angles! Image

Tomorrow the NC State Board of Education will vote on the attached request to the General Assembly to authorize and fund a merit pay and revised teacher licensure pilot program.

#nced #ncga #ncpol #PathwaysToExodus
The program would be implemented in “public-school districts of varying size and geographic diversity” in school year 2024-25 following a year of planning in 23-24.
The pilot would run five years after that initial planning year. Superintendent Truitt says they want 5-15 districts, depends on GA funding allocation.

Important update on the February 15 @BelkFoundation merit pay for @CharMeckSchools panel discussion:

#nced #ncpol #PathwaysToExodus
Recently it came to my attention that the Belk Foundation planned to host a panel discussion on the Pathways to Excellence merit pay proposal at UNCC next month starring State Superintendent Catherine Truitt, State Board of Education Chair Eric Davis and others.
From the event description it seemed likely the goal of this discussion was to sweet talk Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools into piloting the merit pay system, possibly as soon as next school year.

Never forget that state superintendent @CTruittNCDPI schemed with #PEPSC Chair Patrick Miller and @edstateboard_nc member Jill Camnitz to prevent @EducationNC from collecting teacher feedback on the merit pay proposal because she wouldn’t have control of the responses. #nced ImageImage
At the same meeting, Truitt’s Chief of Staff Shelby Armentrout said “If teachers come out against it then it’ll be dead on arrival.”

Don’t ever doubt the power of your educator voice. 🗣️🍎 #nced #ncpol

Speaking of fear of teachers, next month Truitt and the Belk Foundation are holding an event to try to schmooze Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools into volunteering to pilot merit pay. eventbrite.com/e/the-belk-fou…
