Shocker: Occupy Monday Promoting Fast Food Strike

Posted on September 4, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Moral Monday is promoting a Fast Food Worker strike over the minimum wage today at noon? Gee, they’ve never done that before. Oh wait, yes they have:

Hey, didn’t Kay Hagan repeat a lot of this business about $7.25 an hour last night at the debate? Why yes… Yes she did. Moral Monday Kay has a nice ring to it.

NC Governor McCrory Unveils Operation Rebrand For Common Core (Video)

Posted on August 25, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Last weekend, NC Superintendent Atkinson tipped her hand on the rebrand strategy for Common Core in North Carolina. This week on the same program, NCSPIN, Governor Pat McCrory repeated the same statements.

In the initial part of the conversation, McCrory made a weak dodge on testing should be called out — all major tests are Common Core aligned. Hasn’t his Teach For America Alum and Education Advisor, Eric Guckian, told him that yet?

The host confirmed with Governor McCrory that the Governor has been “a big supporter of Common Core”. McCrory answered, ” I am a supporter of Common Core but I also recognize the testing aspect needs some revision and change.”

McCrory continued and here’s where the cat is now out of the rebrand bag:

“The title of the bill of Common Core says we’re eliminating Common Core. If you read the bill, it doesn’t eliminate Common Core. It reviews Common Core and only the State Board of Education – with Bill Cobey as its chairman – can change Common Core.”

There you have it, folks.

This is the kick off of Operation Rebrand.

CCSSO President Dances Around NC Superintendent Reelection Question

Posted on August 23, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

More speculation on whether CCSSO President Elect Atkinson will be running for NC Superintendent again. Host Tom Campbell falls all over himself to set her up positively in his interviews with her. Campbell mentions Cash Michael’s dropped the bomb in a past episode that Atkinson wasn’t running again.

During the brief interview segment, Atkinson says she has learned to “live with the turbulence” so our CC June False Witnesskids can have a great education.

Well, much of the recent turbulence has been self-inflicted — Oops, there I go again, bearing “false witness”.

CCSSO President Elect Atkinson Tips Her Common Core Hand?

Posted on August 20, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

NC State Superintendent and CCSSO President Elect, June Atkinson, went on local politicalAtkinsonPresElect show NC SPIN to talk about “the move away” from Common Core. In the interview, the same talking points are recycled yet again. It was far easier to do with a host practically feeding her lines — It was almost embarrassing to watch.

Narratives of the interview:

Disruption and constant change
Money we’ve already spent/cost (see my note below the full video clip)
Hey, haven’t we heard these same narratives recently? Yep.

Atkinson’s remarks about “faith” in the State Board of Education take on new meaning — Did Dr. Atkinson just tip her hand? It looks like it, read more…. Continue reading →

“Week of Action”: Laugh or Cry?

Posted on August 16, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Laugh or cry?
“It’s about right or wrong”. No, it’s about demanding more big government intrusion, incurring more debt and definitely not about anything moral. Continue reading →
