“Organize 2020, the social justice protest arm of the N.C. Association of Educators (NCAE), recently sent out an email inviting those “committed to education justice” to join a new coalition aimed at fighting for topics that parents have pushed back on at their school board meeting during the last year; namely Critical Race Theory and saving “banned” books.
The new coalition is called Honest Education Action & Leadership or “H.E.A.L."
“This national effort is supported by the National Education Association (NEA), People’s Action, Dignity in Schools, and many others committed to education justice,” the email reads.”

WARNING: Dr. Street Reads from the book, CRANK (Explicit) & the Preachers Hit this Hard!
CALLING ALL PARENTS!
They keep saying that the safety of our schools is of the upmost importance… If so why have they still not done anything? This is not a complicated issue! It’s actually quite simple. They need to protect our schools the way they protect their government buildings. They know exactly what needs to be done they are just choosing not to do it. Why?

Who remembers this? A year later and they still have NOT put the safety of our children and staff first. Don’t be fooled by these scanners that teachers are going to have to operate. Teachers should be in their classrooms and halls paying attention to what’s going on. Not manning body scanners.
Teachers that are already shortstaffed and at their wit‘s end are now being given even more responsibilities. Responsibilities that they are not trained or equipped for.
People, this is not a hard thing to fix! It’s high time that we take all the safety and security that is offered to our government buildings and BOE board room and move it over to our schools!
Let’s see our elected officials walk the walk and put safety and security of our most valuable and vulnerable first! #fixit

“Guilford County Schools do have $300 million from the 2020 bond referendum that are unaffected by the challenge to the $1.7 billion bond referendum.”
So how many years is it gonna take them to get through this 300 million before they even touch the new bond?
It’s almost July and to date how have our children benefited from the 2020 bond? #fixit

Wow! Reading the comments on their post it’s crazy how they don’t match a thing that was said last night at the BOE meeting. Can’t wait to see what the numbers really look like after June 30th. According to Gcs everything is perfectly fine and everyone is so extremely happy with their jobs…
So if everyone is so happy and retention is so great why such the need for bonuses to attract new staff? Why are they not giving these bonuses to existing staff that have stayed? So much more to the story…
Until staff start taking a stand and enlightening the rest of the community on what’s really going on Gcs will just keep doing as they have done… #fixit
