Michele Morrow's shallow leadership resume

Gwen Frisbie-Fulton
Mar 24, 2024

... Michele Morrow’s experience is extremely limited ... Morrow has homeschooled her children. Nonetheless, she has formed rigid opinions about North Carolina’s public schools, calling them “socialism centers” and “indoctrination centers” ...

... Morrow lives in a wealthy suburb of Raleigh in a house valued at more than twice the average North Carolina home. In contrast to the Morrows, nearly half of all students in North Carolina are considered economically disadvantaged (with family incomes less than 185% of the federal poverty line). Morrow might believe that "the whole plan of the education system from day one has actually been to kind of control the thinking of our young people" (WRAL), but she fails to understand the supportive, stabilizing impact of public schools in children’s lives ...

... Active on the internet, she puts herself in an echo chamber of views, falling victim to conspiracy theories. During the pandemic, she used the QAnon hashtag #WWG1WGA multiple times and she spread disinformation about vaccinations ...

... Morrow parroted insurrectionist talking points while filming herself on her way to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6: "If you’re going to commit treason, if you’re going to participate in fraud in a United States election, we’re coming after you," she said into her livestream ...

... She supports banning Islam (HuffPost), though our state has the 10th-largest Muslim population in the country. She has made anti-inclusivity a cornerstone of her campaign, railing against the LGBTQIA+ community ...

Between her and that psycho lt. governor, it is very difficult to convince people that Wake Co. is home to Research Triangle Park and many major scientific industries. Much less the many accomplishments of some great people from that state.

Very difficult.
