Michele Morrow Mad! | caffeinated rage
Maybe Michele forgot that Donald totally separated himself from Mark for a reason and Michele totallly embraced Mark during the entire campaign. Maybe Michele forgot that North Carolina already has a recent history of having leaning for an "R" on a national level and a "D" for the governor's mansion. Maybe Michele was just that…
The Most Important Election For Public Education In NC You May Not Know Much About Was Just Won | caffeinated rage
Yes, we needed to elect Josh Stein as governor over Mark Robinson. Mo Green needed to be elected to become the next State Superintendent of North Carolina. Jeff Jackson needed to be elected over Dan Bishop. And then there is this election: If you have any knowledge of the LEANDRO decision to fund our public…
Dr. Oz Has Been Nominated To Oversee The Nation’s Health Care System. Remembering What He Said About Schools During COVID. | caffeinated rage
Today, President-Elect Donald Trump nominated Dr. Mehmet Oz to oversee Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act. Might be worth remembering that this happened in April of 2020. “Schools are a very appetizing opportunity. I just saw a nice piece in The Lancet arguing the opening of schools may only cost us 2 to 3%,…
Down East, Helene, & Propublica: Why Expanding Vouchers In NC Is “Frankly Disgusting” | caffeinated rage
It's not hard to believe that a body of decision makers who have gerrymandered their majority in the North Carolina General Assembly and who have consistently attacked the public school system would still consider expanding vouchers in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Two summers ago, 19 eastern NC superintendents wrote a letter explicitly stating that…
All Students Forced To Watch A State Super Pray During Class? | caffeinated rage
This is the man who is positioning himself to be the next Secretary of Education in the next Trump administration. He's working hard at it in Oklahoma. Even spending millions on bibles to place in each classroom in OK's public schools. So, would you want your taxpayer funded public schools to be forced to watch…
Wanted: Working Conditions That Will Attract And Keep Career Teachers | caffeinated rage
That “slide” above is from a 2019 presentation about the Teachers’ and State Employees’ Retirement System (TSERS) Retirement Planning. 2019 was before the COVID-19 pandemic. It would be interesting and predictably disheartening to question LEA HR directors about how many calls they are fielding from veteran teachers concerning retirement and early retirement requirements and possibilities. As…
NC Needs The Department Of Education | caffeinated rage
Some quick reminders of how much NC's public education system relies on funding from the federal government. That is NC in that "top 10" states in federal share of public education funds. And there are a lot of public post-secondary schools in NC. Ten of those institutions are HBCUs. And NC is not very good…
Want To Meet Trump’s Possible Secretary Of Education? | caffeinated rage
That is, if he does not destroy the department first as dictated in Project 2025. However, this guy makes Betsy DeVos look tame in some ways except DeVos's money gives her the power to finance people like... Oklahoma's Ryan Walters. If you follow national educational news, you surely would have come across Ryan Walters, the…
Yes, NC. He Wants To Do Away With The Department Of Education. | caffeinated rage
Just a reminder that over 90% of the budget for the federal Dept. of Education goes to Pell grants, student loans, under resourced public schools, and those who are serviced through special education. To be specific, it offers services and oversight that are desperately needed. From the overview from the federal government’s website: And that’s just…
So, Now Will You Look At Project 2025? | caffeinated rage
The election is over. Trump attempted to publicly distance himself from a document that mentions his name 312 different times during the summer and early fall, but he doesn't need to now. So… in a continued look at the document Project 2025: Mandate for Leadership, I revisited a simple find and search on key words, terms,…
NC Has A New State Super. He Should Push To End Using EVAAS. | caffeinated rage
In October of 2017, the venerable James Ford of the Public School Forum delivered the keynote address at the North Carolina English Teacher’s Association. It was more than exceptional as Ford highlighted that what hurts our schools most are external factors that are not being dealt with such as systemic poverty. Part of his presentation…
Even After The Election, NC Should Still Not Expand Vouchers | caffeinated rage
When Governor Cooper vetoed House Bill 10, he was trying to keep another half a billion dollars this year from going to vouchers. Vouchers would hurt rural county school systems most. In the late spring of 2023, 19 superintendents whose systems reside in 17 eastern rural counties wrote a letter asking that vouchers not be…
Looking At Positives: What Was Won For Public Education On November 5th | caffeinated rage
Despite what emotions have been expressed and/or suppressed (and will in the near future), the reality of the election will settle in, and there are a lot of people paid a lot of money to find out exactly why certain people won office with certain demographics voting for them. In a state where the republican…
HB2, J6, And Minisoldr. NC Does Not Need These People In Office. | caffeinated rage
“Vote for Michele Morrow. Work for Michele Morrow. And help her be successful in the effort. Because God knows we need it.”-minisoldr, a.k.a. Mark Robinson Please do not let it be lost on anyone that hardly anyone, including Michele Morrow, has denounced the Lt. Governor’s actions and comments that were reported in the recent past. And…
21 Reasons To Not Vote For Michele Morrow | caffeinated rage
She is not a teacher. She does not have a plan. She just says she has a plan. She is not a public school parent. She said those things about Muslims. She was at the J6 insurrection. With her kids. She called for public executions of publicly elected officials. She amplified QAnon theories. She used…
Unlike Michele Morrow And Mark Robinson, I Want A Federal Department Of Education | caffeinated rage
Why? Because it offers services and oversight that are desperately needed. From the overview from the federal government's website: And that's just not for K-12 institutions. Have a student loan from the federal government? Department of Education handles that. Those lunches for students living in poverty? Department of Education. Around 8% of the public education…
Myopic Michele And Her Revisionist History | caffeinated rage
For someone whose social media history is infested with vitriol and conspiracy theories, Michele Morrow's campaign amnesia is borderline humorous. "My opponent seems to think that hatred and fear are good motivational strategies."- Michele Morrow on Mo Green "In other comments on social media between 2019 and 2021 reviewed by CNN’s KFile, Morrow made disturbing…
Mark Johnson Was A Horrible State Superintendent. Michele Morrow Would Be Much Worse. | caffeinated rage
Remember him? He went on to run for Lt. Gov. on a platform to expose the “Deep State”. Remember when he cast himself as a champion of public education fighting against evil, unseen forces in a quest to bring effective, urgent, and positive change? Here are some more reminders of the incompetency of Mark Johnson. Johnson…
I Want A Lawmaker Who Goes To Public High School Football Games (And Other School Events) | caffeinated rage
The local public school is an established public good where taxpayer money helps to educate all of the students who pass through its doors no matter what socioeconomic background they come from. They could be students from single-parent families or presumably stable nuclear families. Did the person for whom you voted (or will on Tuesday)…
Michele Morrow Wants You To Think Our Schools Are Failing. They Are Much Better Than She Thinks. | caffeinated rage
Our public schools are better than many lawmakers and office candidates portray them to be – people who have never spent time as educators. A lot better. And the problem is not the schools. The problem is the lawmaking body that controls the narrative of how schools are performing. With the constant dialogue that “we…
Remember When Michele Morrow Claimed Teachers All Have “Immune System Of Steel” In 2020? | caffeinated rage
“If you’ve been a school teacher for years, you have the immune system of steel because just like healthcare workers, you are around children all day long who aren’t the best at covering their mouth or nose when they sneeze or cough,” Morrow said. “They’re not good at washing their hands after they go to…
You Voting For The Person Who Froze Veteran Teacher Pay For Ten Years? | caffeinated rage
Here is the salary schedule that is in place for the 2023-2024 school year. For those who are not teachers, make sure to pay attention to years 15-24. Frozen. 10 years of the same. There is no longevity pay during these years as well. Someone who has been teaching for 24 years makes the same…
The “Nonexistent” Teaching Resume Of Michele Morrow | caffeinated rage
Some interesting claims by Michele Morrow. "It's time for a teacher...." "I bring real teaching experience." "After 10 years of teaching Chemistry, Biology, Civics, and Spanish to students across the state...." So where is your teaching certificate? Those pics of you in front of the class? Any pics of you in an NC public school…
Qualifications To Be A NC Teacher Versus Michele Morrow’s “Qualifications” To Be State Super | caffeinated rage
Below is a screenshot from the statutes of the General Assembly concerning the “duties” of teachers. They include a variety of “duties,” some more defined than others: discipline, “teaching,” reporting, provide for well-being, medical care, keep order, etc. And historically speaking, to become a teacher in North Carolina, one needed to become certified through a…
Michele Morrow Is NC’s Betsy DeVos. Actually, She’s Worse. | caffeinated rage
Below were the qualifications for Betsy DeVos in January of 2017 when she became the first cabinet member to have to require a tie-breaking vote in the Senate to be confirmed. Betsy DeVos had no degree in education meaning she is not even educated in how to educate. Betsy DeVos had no teaching experience. Betsy…
Even Michele Morrow Says, “It’s Time For A Teacher And Parent.” | caffeinated rage
According to the News & Observer's recent endorsement in the state superintendent election: Extremism aside, Michele Morrow is wholly unqualified to hold the office she seeks, more so than any major party state superintendent candidate in our state’s history.October 30, 2024 She is wholly unqualified. Event he current state superintendent, Catherine Truitt, stated, “In the…
No, Michele. Catherine Did Not Endorse You. | caffeinated rage
Yesterday, current NC State Superintendent Catherine Truitt posted a picture of herself in front of an "I Voted, Did You?" sign. She said, "Our @ncpublicschools students deserve an experienced school leader." Truitt could have removed all doubt and just said that she voted for Mo Green. She has insinuated that she was not going to…
What Will Mark Robinson Be For Halloween? Remembering A Post From 2022. | caffeinated rage
It's still on his Facebook feed. Ironic that Mark Robinson now claims he himself was attacked - by the press. From the Charlotte Observer on November 1, 2022: Wonder if Mark is going to wear this costume this Halloween?
Michele Morrow’s Ricky Bobby Moment – You Can’t Put Anyone First When You Put So Many Last | caffeinated rage
Interesting post from Michele Morrow on "X" yesterday. Especially this part. In the immortal words of Ricky Bobby: So, Michele. Who is first? What "Makeover Michele" is doing is using every dog-whistling, gas-lighting, Hail Mary ingredient in an electioneering word salad. Actually, "Kids First!" is just an overused trite and empty two-word expression meant to…
When You Mix Schools, Churches, & Politics In NC, You Get This | caffeinated rage
Not unheard for Mark Robinson to frequent a church pulpit to campaign with the cloak of Christian love. However, some of the things he has said about teachers, LGBTQ+ citizens, and other peoples doesn't feel like it has the love of Jesus in them. Furthermore, the recent events surrounding Robinson's past social media posts, its…
The Michele Morrow Book Club (All Selections Are Titles She Should Read) | caffeinated rage
There is a reason why we read serious works of literature. And others can say why much better than I can. “I cannot remember the books I’ve read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”― Ralph Waldo Emerson “We read to know we are not alone.”— William Nicholson (often…
Micheleslist.com – A List Michele Morrow Does Not Want You To See (Coming To A State Fair Near You) | caffeinated rage
Americans For Prosparody has done fantastic work in this election cycle keeping in the public eye the very words and actions of people running for office want you to forget, specifically Mark Robinson and Michele Morrow. Morrow's fake veneer of civility and concern for all North Carolinians should never be able to cover up who…
Michele Morrow Will Not Recruit Or Retain Teachers In North Carolina | caffeinated rage
As of this post there are over 8500 vacancies in our public schools. Recent reports by news outlets have highlighted massive numbers of teachers leaving the classroom in North Carolina. Keung Hui of the News & Observer said 1 in 9 teachers left in that post. That’s over 10,000 teachers. That report can be found here.…
From “Thank You Teachers!” To “Groomers” In One Day | caffeinated rage
Literally it took one day for Michele Morrow to "praise" the teaching profession and then vilify the profession and the schools where they work. On October 23rd she posted: And the next day posted: And she mentioned that "pedophilia" word in her tweet. That word came up not long ago in another tweet from the…
“The ABC’s of Michele Morrow” – A Website Worth Referencing | caffeinated rage
Mo Green's campaign has published a website that explicitly shows the multiple examples of the actions and words attributed to Michele Morrow that more than prove that she is unfit to lead the public schools of North Carolina. It's called "The ABC's of Michele Morrow" and can be found at abcmorrow.com. Every letter of the…
About Michele Morrow’s Empty “Shoutout” To Teachers. | caffeinated rage
For Michele Morrow to post on "X" an over-fawning appreciation to public school teachers less than two weeks before the election when she has a verified history of denigrating public schools and those who work in them is beyond hubris. It's insulting. Why? Because we know what she has said in the past. The recent…
There Is A Chance That The NC General Assembly Will Vote To Override Veto Of Voucher Bill This Week | caffeinated rage
When Governor Cooper vetoed House Bill 10, he was trying to keep another half a billion dollars this year from going to vouchers. The reason that a vote to override that veto has not happened yet is apparent: Hurricane Helene. Vouchers would hurt rural county school systems most. In the late spring of 2023, 19…
Michele Morrow Is An Outsider. To Reality. | caffeinated rage
“It’s important, experience. But I think one of my greatest qualifications is that I have no experience in a failing system that chooses to continue to fund failures and only wants to get more money for those people at the top that are the bureaucrats like my opponent who’s gotten wealthy and powerful off the…
