Today the North Carolina General Assembly introduced a monster anti-public education bill that would strip our students of basic rights and attempt to drive a wedge between parents and educators. Tamika Walker Kelly, president of the North Carolina Association of Educators released the following statement.

The North Carolina Association of Educators supports policies that help all North Carolinians decide how and when to grow their families. We urge lawmakers to focus on helping create more ways for working families to prosper, rather than limiting peoples’ rights as Senate Bill 20 does.

The North Carolina Association of Educators strongly oppose the passage of SB-49. We urge lawmakers to prioritize setting students up for success rather than putting forth legislation that threatens their safety and well-being.

“The majority of North Carolinians want strong, successful public schools for our families and our communities. Together, we can work across lines of difference to ensure our public schools meet the needs of every student, prepare them for the future, and make our state a better place to live.”
