@schooladvocate8 @NCGOP @JOCO_GOP_NC I guess you just don't want to accept that actual media specialists and other employees trust me enough to contact me directly. My "helper" had nothing to do with any of it. I can think and speak for myself . . . and for those who reach out to me. I've got a test to make!

@schooladvocate8 @NCGOP @JOCO_GOP_NC You make up a lot of things, Michelle. And you're projecting. But here's your "union boss" post on 7/24/21. I wore the shirt on 7/30/21 to counteract your juvenile name calling. How did that post with my picture after the meeting turn out for you?

[April Jones Lee @aj3lee]

@schooladvocate8 @NCGOP @JOCO_GOP_NC Wow. It's amazing you're a mindreader, except you're not. I actually had no clue. Hadn't seen a single post about it. I literally had media specialists message me. That's it. You make a lot of assumptions. And they're wrong. I'm busy because I'm an actual classroom teacher.

[April Jones Lee @aj3lee]

@schooladvocate8 @NCGOP @JOCO_GOP_NC And there is nothing in my public comment that indicates an awareness of a current book challenge. I was speaking in general because of concerns from media specialists who reached out to me about the website because I have worked to gain their trust.

North Carolina will do you one better - 1 in 6 private school voucher applicant households in NC makes more than a quarter of a million dollars a year.

Private school vouchers were aggressively marketed once as helping low-income kids. That's just plainly not the case.

This ultra-conservative Republican activist runs for her local Texas school board to root out the "pornography" and racial division she'd been told suffused the school curriculum.

Just one problem: she couldn't find any. Now her fellow activists shun her.

Paid charter school spokesman: "We just care about performance!"

Student behavior is certainly part of the equation, but the main reasons we can’t attract and retain teachers has more to do with N.C. Republicans’ 13-year crusade to wreck public schools via policy choices. #nced #ncpol

[Mo Green for NC @MoGreenforNC]

Some people are fueled by extreme & incorrect views of our public schools.

There is another way.

I want to spotlight the strengths of our public schools. And I’ll work to improve them where needed so that every child growing up in NC gets an excellent education.

[Carolina Forward @ForwardCarolina]

Just for a reality check, here are the proposals for teacher pay in each of @NC_Governor, @NCHouseGOP and @MyNCSenate state budget plans.

Sort of speaks for itself, doesn't it? #ncpol

This is the result of the North Carolina Republican Party’s decade-long campaign to dismantle public schools.

Here’s a partial list of policies they’ve enacted to shatter our teacher pipeline. #nced #ncpol #ncga

[Carolina Forward @ForwardCarolina]

Here are just two examples of bills submitted by Republican legislators in the #NCGA just this year that are essentially ghostwritten by far-right lobbyists at ALEC.

@JasonSaine97th, ALEC's NC point man (and sometimes an NC legislator), really works for the money. #ncpol

[April Jones Lee @aj3lee]

@JustinParmenter It's not a teacher shortage; it's a teacher exodus.

[Justin Parmenter @JustinParmenter]

Here’s a partial list of the damage the Republican “Education Party” has done to education in North Carolina since taking over in 2010.

It’s 100% laughably absurd they’re even testing this talking point. #nced #ncpol

@KrisNordstrom Michigan has a dem majority in all branches now. We need to vote like them to achieve this! Or the GOP has to correct itself and get back on the education train.
