"Controversy Surrounds North Carolina Schools Superintendent Race"

Michele Morrow, a homeschooling mother and GOP nominee for North Carolina's superintendent of public instruction, pledges to prioritize "sound, basic education" and advocate for parental choice in education and medical decisions. She criticizes her opponent, Democrat Mo Green, over alleged funding for "radical groups" and divisive initiatives. Morrow aims to focus on academics, safety, and discipline in schools, while addressing concerns about diversity, equity, and inclusion. Her campaign faces controversy over past social media posts and a confrontation with CNN reporters, but she emphasizes her support from diverse families and her plans to bring change to the state's education system.
