If you're not reading Carolina Partnership for Reform's newsletter you should, but it was stunning to see these stats in the past week's edition. The Republican-led North Carolina General Assembly over the past 15 years unquestionably improved life in our State. #NCPOL #NCGA

We’ve worked hard to put the State Health Plan on a better financial path. Members, taxpayers, and providers are all doing their part to make that happen. But instead, Duke is demanding a raise. That could mean higher costs for everyone. #ncpol

NC Department of State Treasurer@NCTreasurer

State Health Plan update: Negotiations between Duke Health & Aetna are ongoing as their contract nears expiration. Treasurer Briner has a message for members on what this means. nctreasurer.gov/news/press-rel… #ncpol #nced #Update

🚨New Master's thesis—"That Eggplant is My Queer Community"—out of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The author interviews "self-identified queer farmers" about how agriculture affirms their queerness, the "heteropatriarchal norms of agriculture," and how they "assert queerness as a natural element of agriculture." Published this week.

I was wrong, and I apologize. I have deleted the post.

Defiant L’s@DefiantLs

I'd say Stephen King should be ashamed of himself, but what's the point?

Why are some people so angry at the media’s reaction to Iryna Zarutska’s murder? The @nytimes story on Zarutska’s murder deviates in major ways from its framing of the last murder that gripped the public + political consciousness: George Floyd’s. #ncpol cprnc.org/blog/a-tale-of…

There he goes again!🤯 @UNC_Law's Gene Nichol can't disagree with anyone on the merits. It's always personal. This time it's Dems who overrode vetoes on bills like cooperating with ICE. Nichol says they're working to "destroy your form of government." newsobserver.com/opinion/articl…

As a member of the State Board of Education, I have been consistently appalled at the opposition to school choice and charter schools that has been apparent since my first meeting in January. Families need to be able to choose an education that best meets their child's needs, and an independent Charter School Review Board is best equipped to oversee these schools. I hope the legislature will override the Governor's veto of SB254.

NCForLowerEnergyCosts@nc_forlowcosts·2 Tem

A “Worst Case” one page study pushed by NCSEA - “who never saw an expen$ive renewable energy source they didn’t support”, despite the cost to all - is nothing more than a smoke screen to push/support the Governor’s potential veto. 🧵

In 2022, the Biden admin launched a $30m initiative to help people smoke crack and shoot heroin more safely. If the nanny state do-gooders really had interest in smoking cessation, they should stop handing out smoking kits to crack addicts. #ncpol cprnc.org/blog/the-biden…

@nckhui @CTruittNCDPI Ah, so the nuance is phone *use* in class vs. the mere presence of phones in school. Understood.

@cprnc @CTruittNCDPI edchoice.org/engage/cell-ph… Truitt said parents are opposed to phone bans but are more open to restrictions.

Carolina Partnership for Reform@cprnc·8 Kas

We're not sure what data @CTruittNCDPI is seeing to suggest parents oppose cell phone restrictions in classrooms. Here are results from our September poll... #ncpol

Keung Hui@nckhui

Should lawmakers ban students from having phones in school? Why North Carolina superintendent says no. Supt. Catherine Truitt is encouraging the State Board of Education to recommend that the General Assembly not pass a statewide ban. #nced #ncpol #ncga newsobserver.com/news/local/edu…

The lobbying campaign for independent pharmacists has taken to heckling legislators at parades and launching reckless accusations of corruption against opponents of their crazy push to mandate a “pharmacist tax” on scripts filled in North Carolina. #ncpol cprnc.org/blog/the-indep…

Changes of heart are fine. But pretending like this is one big example of collaboration seems designed to avoid answering for the two years’ worth of elementary schoolers who missed out on an effective reading curriculum because @NC_Governor wouldn't let it proceed. #ncpol

Cooper in 2019, vetoing @SenatorBerger's science of reading bill: "This legislation tries to put a Band-Aid on a program where implementation has clearly failed." Cooper to @WRAL in 2024: "This is something that we all came together to do in a bipartisan way." Unreal. #ncpol

Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist@DeAngelisCorey·20 Haz

Condoleezza Rice ON FIRE for school choice: "How can you say you're for civil rights? How can you say you're for the poor? When you're condemning those children to not being able to read?" She also calls out hypocrites opposing school choice who send their own kids to private.

And yet NC students' NAEP scores are around the same or better than students in the #1 state in the nation for "cost-adjusted per pupil spending." Outcomes matter more than dollar signs. #ncpol #nced

Public Schools First NC@PS1NC

Cost adjusting is most accurate because it factors in cost of living for each state. Why are we ranked so low? It is hard to understand when the state has had a budget surplus for years and now has has nearly a billion dollar surplus! #nced #ncpublicschools #ncpol
