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/…

The percentage of physicians who are Black men was the same in 2018 as it was in 1940.
2.6%
Let that sink in.

We are beyond lucky to have these two amazing counselors at our school. Happy National Counselor Week to Mrs. Beck and Mrs. Penny!

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.

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.

This week’s episode of @GangsterCapital shows how deep the corruption is. I’m filled with grief. Thankful for voices of light and truth here: @save71LU @constanceider @reachjulieroys @realPOTUS2040 @kkdumez podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

My @dailytarheel op-Ed seems to be making its way into the world. But someone suggested I tweet it directly. #coalitionforcarolina dailytarheel.com/article/202…

When someone thinks verbal repentance and a few tears are all that is necessary for restoration to leadership or marriage, the addiction to deceit remains alive and well.

BREAKING: Nikole Hannah-Jones will not be coming to UNC in the fall, she told "CBS This Morning." Instead, she will go to Howard University. Story to come.

"At age 27, when a certain wealthy donor was inheriting the publishing gig from his family paper, I was interning at the News & Observer while working a second job as a mattress salesperson to make ends meet," Hannah-Jones said in a statement. bit.ly/3xkOrbj

If you mishandle a disclosure, if you back the wrong person, it can be life and death. For that victim, for the victims who will follow.
This isn't a game. You are playing with people's lives when you don't train yourself on abuse prevention and response.
It's all our problem.

SB154 filed today calls for fully funding North Carolina school social workers & school psychologists over next 10 years, starting at $50.9M this year & reaching $508.8M in 2030. Only has Democratic sponsorship so likely won't pass. #nced #ncpol #ncga ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2021/S1…

We also need to remember that one in seven American kids still doesn't even graduate from high school. America invented mass high school attendance, but now many countries have higher high school graduation rates and higher literacy rates.
