Just love reading police reports where children disclose being hit in the mouth by their dad and the officer's documented response is to remind the children to be respectful and that corporal punishment is legal. Just tell though, right? Every. Single. Day.

North Carolina won’t pay teachers extra for having a master’s degree, but Wake County will now. Starting July 1, Wake County will compensate school employees who missed the state's 2013 cutoff to get paid more for having an advanced degree. #wcpss #nced newsobserver.com/news/local/…

Read about refugee access to mental health support services @indyweek, with comments from WRD Director Adam Clark: “We’re able to provide services that are not available to most resettled refugees because of that partnership and our work with [@UNC_SSW].” ow.ly/gt4q50GOUiH

The WakeMed family is giving everything they’ve got to care for all our patients, but they need support. Dr. David Kirk says that a kind word could go a long way. Then of course there is the ultimate thank you – getting yourself vaccinated. cbs17.com/news/wakemed-covid…

Incredible beyond words. A US Globemaster C17, carrying more than five times its passenger limit. 640 Afghans saved from The Taliban. “The crew made the decision to go”. American heroes. Via @marcusreports @TaraCopp
