The Editor’s Notes
Looking for stocking stuffers or last minute gifts for the holidays? From the practical to the spicy, here are some of my favorites in 2025 from North Carolina and beyond.
The House Select Committee on Oversight and Reform met yesterday to discuss the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools compliance with the 2023 Senate Bill 49, the “Parents’ Bill of Rights.”
Letters sent from the committee to district leaders said, “This body is deeply troubled to learn that Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) has intentionally breached the North Carolina Constitution and state laws to
indoctrinate children as young as six years old with inappropriate materials involving sex and gender.”
Ray Gronberg with the NC Tribune reports district leaders “said the Chapel Hill-Carrboro system is following the law.”
Legislators disagreed.
Gronberg reports this exchange: “You’re going to need state funds, aren’t you?” said Rep. Jeff McNeely, R-Iredell, alluding to the subsidies the General Assembly provides every public K-12 school system. “Well there’s a darn good chance you may not get them.”
McNeely goes on to say, “We’re not going to put up with rogue school systems,” according to Gronberg.
You can see all the meeting materials here, including the letters and prepared testimonies.
