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 few opportunities that I was actually sharing space with her in a panel or debate, I was shocked by her complete lack of understanding of how public schools function and what the job of state superintendent is,” Truitt said.

But you can’t convince Michele Morrow she is not qualified.

Read that closely: “It’s time for a teacher and parent.”

Catherine Truitt was a public school teacher and a parent of public school students.

Mo Green served in public school administration and sent his children to public schools.

Even Mark Johnson taught in an NC public school for two years.

But Michele? Never. Her definition for being labeled a teacher qualified to lead public schools is like my claiming to be a medical doctor because I put a band-aid on my child’s cut finger. And she has never been a public school parent here in North Carolina.

So her claim in being a “teacher and a parent” seems more than deliberately misleading.

It should read, “I think it’s time for a person who thinks she is a teacher and never sent her children to NC public schools and who will fight tirelessly against the truth that I have absolutely no idea how schools run, operate, or function, and I will stand as a true advocate of conspiracy theories. Your students deserve to submit to my worldview.”
