The world could certainly use a little more kindness right now.
My 150 7th grade students drew a random classmate’s name and had a month to plan, carry out and reflect on an act of kindness for that person.
We are breaking down social barriers and normalizing compassion. #nced

Still can’t wrap my head around the fact that a homeschooling mom who has never held a job in a real educational setting and who called for Obama to be executed on live pay per view television is the Republican candidate to be NC’s superintendent of k-12 schools. 😳 #nced #ncpol

Great question. Lot of folks asking for specifics on Harris’s economic policy don’t seem at all curious about how Trump deporting 11 million people will a) work and b) affect our country.
Reader asks a good question: how many editorials/questions did you see asking for detail on the central policy theme of the GOP convention which was "mass deportation"?

Robert Hur quit his job at the DOJ yesterday and prepped with Trump’s folks for today’s testimony. Just in case you were wondering if he was impartial as a special prosecutor…
Having been a federal prosecutor, I know you don’t disparage a witness while declining to prosecute them.
Not if you’re a professional, instead of a partisan.
And yet — that’s exactly what Robert Hur did.
He made a choice.
And it was a terrible one.

If you need more evidence that Mark Robinson is a liar who can’t be trusted, here he is telling a pro-life rally in 2021 that he and his wife never considered having an abortion.
News about their 1989 abortion dropped in 2022.
This man will say ANYTHING to get votes. #ncpol
🚨Leaked audio🚨: It only took Republican candidate for NC governor Mark Robinson a month to admit that his campaign ad promising a new moderate abortion position was a lie.

Also important to know that if a child's parent objects to the beating and the student is expelled and sent back to their public school, Flaming Sword keeps the state's public voucher dollars anyway.
School vouchers are a money-making racket.

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.
