Anyone want a bluesky invite?

Important to note that UNC leaders are supposed to be working to implement Leandro, too, yet their budget request fails to include Leandro items: https://webservices.ncleg.gov/ViewDocSiteFile/75769

Unless I missed something,
Truitt and her staff spent more than 3 hours over 2 meetings talking about her budget priorities, and not one member of the Joint Education Appropriations Committee asked her or her staff about Leandro.

Who’s fault is that, Michael?

For #S49 supporters to honestly believe that S49 is *not* going to harm LGBTQ students requires believing that the LGBTQ community is lying about the bill’s impact

3 things I wish everyone understood about #COVID19 now:

- The main risk isn't acute illness or death but chronic harm to hearts, brains & immune systems: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12VbMkvqUF9eSggJsdsFEjKs5x0ABxQJi5tvfzJIDd3U/edit?usp=sharing

- You can get Long COVID following a mild illness: https://fortune.com/2023/01/05/origins-of-long-covid-90-percent-initally-mild-symptoms/

- COVID is evolving to be more dangerous by defeating our immunity protection: https://fortune.com/well/2023/01/06/kraken-xbb15-omicron-covid-variant-most-transmissible-yet-could-spawn-more-immune-evasive-variants-study-china-vaccine-monoclonal-antibodies-breakthrough-infection/

This means we should try to avoid spreading COVID & helping it evolve. And we should be more concerned for ourselves and others. #WearAMask

Remember back in 2017 when Moore and Berger spent months lying about their class size requirements being fully funded and absolutely nobody in the press called them out on it or asked them why they lied?

How does school-based healthcare affect students? Find out in a new WP by @[email protected] & @[email protected] on telemedicine in schools. The results have important implications for reaching populations that have low access to healthcare. Read the paper here: https://bit.ly/3ZfGrGD

NCGA leadership’s opposition to Leandro is a simple case of corruption: denying children access to reasonably funded schools so they can keep delivering tax breaks to their rich donors

NC remains the only state I can find where leaders think that performance pay is a necessary solution to the teacher shortage
