@firstgenwfemale @JustinParmenter Fully funding public education could make public schools great by providing ALL the needs for our students.

Women have the right to make decisions about their own bodies. Medication abortions have been safely used since the FDA approved them in 2000 – the medication is four times safer than Viagra! This judge is wrong. I’ll continue to fight for women’s reproductive freedom.

The “surplus” was built on the backpacks of NC school children by denying them the $ needed. Parents see it’s not a matter of whether our state can afford to do right by our students. It’s becoming more clear #ncga doesn’t want to properly invest in our kids. #nced #ncpol 1/3

[Josh Cowen @joshcowenMI]

The #schoolvouchers crowd wants you to believe they care about other people’s kids this one time, while opposing every other policy from child health care to common sense gun safety that would help those children.

It’s all just about a tax break for existing private students.

Union County Supt. Andrew Houlihan says that if NC really wants to make a difference in teacher compensation it should raise the starting salary to $70,000. He says if state want to use merit pay it should be done as a bonus & not as base pay. #nced #ncpol #EggsandIssues23

If you continue to hit the same wall; don’t blame the wall

When you systematically destabilize a system don’t be surprised when it is unstable
