Think the state’s public education status quo needs shaking up? Then say ‘Hello’ to Michele Morrow.
Catherine Truitt has made the McCrory-Tillis wing of the North Carolina Republican Party proud. The allegedly Republican superintendent of the state’s Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has spent the last four years catering to the radical left and their social experimentation in our state’s classrooms. Under Truitt, radical nuttiness like DEI and CRT has taken precedence over the 3 Rs and other important education and training our students need to stay competitive in this 21st century economy.
Parents and other sensible, rational taxpayers are basically told to sit down, shut up, and keep forking over their hard-earned cash. Wake County resident Michele Morrow is one parent and taxpayer who has no intentions of sitting down and shutting up. She has stepped forward to challenge Truitt in this year’s GOP primary for state schools superintendent. Morrow has gained some acclaim and notoriety in social media circles for her critiques of the public education establishment. She’s been speaking her mind, and leftists hate her guts for it. In an era where colleges are forced to spend more money teaching remedial math and English to their first-year students, it’s become pretty clear that some new thinking about public education is desperately needed.
Michele Morrow is speaking January 18th in Moore County, and will likely be hitting other locales across the state in the near future. Check out her website. Take time to hear her in person. The superintendent election typically doesn’t get much coverage in election years. But this year, we appear to honestly have a chance to elect someone who gives a damn about what those of us outside the Raleigh beltline think.
Truitt’s FIRST hire told me all I ever needed to know about her and know I made a horrible, terrible mistake. I won’t make that mistake 2x.
Will work for Morrow!
I am a Morrow Supporter.
Truitt is a RINO who supports CRT and Common Core. She did ZERO for our children during the COVID SCAMDEMIC. Our children were harmed greatly by the mask and “remote learning”. The learning loss has left both the students and teachers in a hot mess.
Truitt has done ZERO to keep pornography out of the classrooms and libraries. She has done ZERO to protect our students from the teachers that want to keep secrets from the parents.
Time for Morrow
And Murphy on re-elect ticket this yr.
Same approach. Don’t make same mistake.
He just voted for CR…..
I’m looking forward to hearing Michele Morrow speak in Greensboro on January 25th. Catherine Truitt has been a huge disappointment as head of DPI. Is she secretly a democrat?
Lot of Dems party switching in the past decade for the purpose of keeping an elected job. Tricia Cotham for one. No telling what Moore offered her to come over. There’s a guy, a DA named Waters up in Granville County who belongs to an old establishment NC Dem family. He switched when it became obvious that his district was becoming untenable for a Dem to get re-elected. In both cases, the RINOs running both county GOPs slobbered over these turncoats like they were big game trophies or something. Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas.
The public school system is beyond help. The entire thing needs to be scrapped. and anyone with an education degree should not be hired. Also NC has a teacher “union” that is not a “union” that needs to be expunged.
The confluence of academia, ( the land of “experts” turning out leftist drones for the children) politics (demanding schools turn out more little leftist drones), federal influence ( which beats NC over the head with its own money) in public education is too intertwined now to be fixable., It is a literal Gordian knot.
The only way to free the people of NC is to cut Gordian knot in half.
I’ll vote for Morrow only if she is interested in getting rid of public education in NC in its entirety. by any means necessary.
It used to serve. It no longer does.
I agree that we need a genuine conservative Republican who believes in real education to be elected to head DPI. Michele Manley Morrow definitely has my endorsement and my vote.
