Thomas these shenanigans come as no surprise. Republicans have been trying to get rid of what used to be an excellent state operated educational system for the past ten years. There are documented cases where Republican politicians in North Carolina have accepted campaign donations from charter school corporations. For instance, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson and State Superintendent Catherine Truitt have received substantial amounts from these charter entities. Representatives from a for-profit charter school operator based in Arizona have been issuing campaign checks to North Carolina officials who can ensure the continuous flow of our tax dollars in their direction.
Here are some of the Charter One Robinson donations for the year 2023:
Nathan Hunsaker, VP Charter One, Knightdale, NC, 2/8/2023, $5000
William Guttery, CEO Charter One, Queen Creek, AZ, 2/9/2023, $5000
Robert Plowman, Finance Charter One, Gilbert, AZ, 2/9/2023, $5000
Michael Way, Education Charter One, Wake Forest, NC, 2/23/2023, $3600
For more comprehensive information and to verify my figures consider checking the North Carolina campaign finance database or Transparency USA, which provides a summary of campaign finance in North Carolina.
How much do North Carolina politicians receive from the existing public-school systems in this state? Absolutely nothing. To be fair, public schools, being government entities, do not make political campaign contributions.
Increasing pressure on public schools and imposing unreasonable mandates, such as publishing their lesson plans and potentially installing cameras in classrooms (which infringes on the reasonable expectation of privacy for both students and teachers), will eventually push qualified teachers towards early retirement or to seek employment in states that appreciate their service. The obvious purpose aligns with the Republican (authoritarian) approach to governance. Allowing the government to infringe on a woman’s right to privacy regarding her personal healthcare and forcing the traditional public school system to navigate through unreasonable hurdles is not serving the people of this state!
