Serious question: You are taking that quote literally, right?
Ever consider it was a classic Trump trolling of pollsters/media that highlighted exit polls showing Trump performed especially well with voters without college degrees — implying "poorly educated" people in a negative way which he then flipped?
Because that's what it was.

@buckmanley332 I did, and the credit isn't about homeschooling, as I said.
It may benefit those students but it's not about them. Please read what the credit is and does.
Take the Trump trolling with you.

President of PEFNC (one of the orgs that could be deemed an SGO under the credit) issued a statement:

No Senate Democrats voted to override the veto.

In the House, newly unaffiliated former Democrats Cunningham and Majeed voted to override:

BREAKING: North Carolina Senate just voted to OVERRIDE Democrat Governor Josh Stein's VETO of a bill opting in to Trump's school choice program.

The vote was 30–19.
The House already voted 73–46.

North Carolina is now the 31st state to opt in to Trump's school choice program.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

The state that pioneered powered flight is now powering ahead on education freedom!

Thrilled to see North Carolina join those unlocking more opportunities for students through the Education Freedom Tax Credit.

Thanks to the legislature for standing strong for Tar Heel families!

@buckmanley332 Don't be poorly educated on the matter though.
The credit is explained here:

[A.P. Dillon @APDillon_]

@buckmanley332 This has to do with a school choice tax credit unrelated to homeschooling.
Also - Neither of those two items you just stated are actual things.

INBOX: From @ncspeakerhall House Bill 1104, which has a number of reforms for mental health related to public safety.
#ncpol #ncga
Hall: "Recent tragedies like the preventable murder of Iryna Zarutska have exposed serious failures in our mental health and public safety systems that put all North Carolinians at risk. I’m proud of the work the committee has done to move this legislation forward. These changes will make our state safer by keeping dangerous criminals with mental illnesses off the streets and getting them the care they need before they can harm others."

BREAKING: By a 6-3 vote, #SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use its never-implemented 2023 districts in this year's elections. They're likely to result in a 6-1, R-D split and the loss of 1 of 2 majority Black AL districts. Doc: https://t.co/GQBJsMmeJe Earlier: https://t.co/0W2HPLC0yh

Of course it’s Cabarrus Co. Interesting that the school board is full of self-described “conservatives” & too scared to do anything. Many wonder these women officials, including the wife of the former Cabarrus GOP Chair, would feel if a man did to them what others are doing to these girls. Now the fed govt is investigating the district & it could lose federal funding. https://t.co/pWYnCW0eij
