GOP candidate for NC schools chief has spread falsehoods, 'groomer' rhetoric

At a street festival in downtown Wake Forest earlier this month Michele Morrow walked through the crowd wearing a blue T-shirt that read, “Make education great again” across the back.

As she spoke to voters, Morrow drew on her experience homeschooling her five children to say why she should be North Carolina’s superintendent of public instruction.

“The majority of homeschoolers would put their kids gladly back into public school if they were sure that they were going to be safe, they weren't going to be bullied,” Morrow told a voter. She said parents don’t want “this worldview that is not their family's worldview, pushed on their children.”

That message might resonate with some parents but the election for North Carolina’s top schools official could be a referendum on Morrow’s track record for unfounded accusations and falsehoods.

She has promoted Q-Anon conspiracy theories, says some teachers are “groomers” and has said the “plus” in LGBTQ+ stands for “pedophilia.” On the campaign trail she often calls public schools “indoctrination centers.” Four years ago, she said former President Barack Obama should face a firing squad - which she has later said was a joke.

They always say it's a "joke"....but then why do they say it at all?

And her in interviews. https://www.democraticunderground.com/106912387

Unfortunately, she seems almost normal in the interview. But she still seems off somehow. If one didn't scrutinize her, wanted to "vote for a woman" and didn't want to vote for an African American they could easily make a very, bad choice for NC because she's a Qanon Nut case.

Please spread the word for Mo Green.

TYSVM! ❤️

Green is the former superintendent of Guilford County Schools, the third-largest public school system in the state and previously served as deputy superintendent for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. Morrow is a nurse, home school teacher and vocal critic of public schools in North Carolina. She’s previously called public schools “the indoctrination army of socialist Dems.”
