Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Aren’t Dead! They Live in Eden – An Open Letter to People Who Will Vote in Sen. Berger’s District
Dear Rockinghamcrantz and Guilfordstern (A Shakespearean way of saying “Citizens of Rockingham and Guilford Counties), If Shakespeare has taught us anything about human nature and our lives (actually he has taught us much), then we would certainly know that the state of the king’s palace usually dictates the state of the kingdom. Just review perhaps his … Continue reading Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Aren’t Dead! They Live in Eden – An Open Letter to People Who Will Vote in Sen. Berger’s District
“License Plates For Lawmakers” or “Why I Live at the DMV”
As in most states, North Carolina’s Department of Motor Vehicles allows car owners to purchase a customized license plate and personalize it with individual text and numbers – as long as it is not already taken by another motorist or it is too inappropriate. Monies collected go to the state with a donation made … Continue reading “License Plates For Lawmakers” or “Why I Live at the DMV”
House Bill 539 – A Surreptitious Trojan Horse Disguised as a Romance Novel With Actual Plot
This is in reference to HB539. It is a horrible piece of legislation for those who advocate for public schools. Please share. I have sent it to all legislators. Dear Legislators of the North Carolina General Assembly, I read with great disappointment that House Bill 539 would be brought up for a one-day concurrence vote … Continue reading House Bill 539 – A Surreptitious Trojan Horse Disguised as a Romance Novel With Actual Plot
Governor McCrory, You are No “Eisenhower Republican”
Dear Governor, I have heard many national GOP candidates make mention of their affinity for President Reagan when addressing audiences. Simply channeling “The Gipper” has become almost a necessity to make a good impression especially on those who remember the two-term president from California. His calm voice, his presence, his speech on the Berlin Wall, … Continue reading Governor McCrory, You are No “Eisenhower Republican”
Lucifer in the Flesh / “I’m Sorry” – What Ted Cruz sent a friend of mine.
With the premature selection of Carly Fiorina as a VP candidate and a ploy with Kasich to keep Trump from the nomination, Ted Cruz is banking a lot on Indiana. And the more that he maneuvers to try and pin Hoosier delegates, the more futile it seems, especially when he sends out emails like the … Continue reading Lucifer in the Flesh / “I’m Sorry” – What Ted Cruz sent a friend of mine.

North Carolina’s Playbook to Dismantle Public Education
When the GOP won control of both houses in the North Carolina General Assembly in the elections of 2010, it was the first time that the Republicans had that sort of power since 1896. Add to that the election of Pat McCrory as governor in 2012, and the GOP has been able to run through … Continue reading North Carolina’s Playbook to Dismantle Public Education
He’s Back! Open Letter to Sen. David Curtis – Why do you not support public schools?
Many of you remember from 2014 a letter that Sen. David Curtis wrote to a young teacher that admonished her for even asking politicians to help public education. I wrote him back. You can revisit that exchange here if you would like - https://dianeravitch.net/2014/05/20/a-teacher-in-north-carolina/. He's back. Better than ever. So... I wrote him again. As pen … Continue reading He’s Back! Open Letter to Sen. David Curtis – Why do you not support public schools?
What McCrory sent a friend of mine. Take a look.
A colleague of mine received the following entreaty from the governor today. I thought it worth posting and looking at. Here it is. What can I say? Only that I'm deeply disappointed by what the ACLU, Roy Cooper and President Obama have done to force schools to allow boys and girls to share restrooms … Continue reading What McCrory sent a friend of mine. Take a look.
