In another day of mind numbing #BookBanning madness. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in #NorthCarolina have decided to #ban a children's book titled "Red: A Crayon’s Story."
Apparently some were concerned about the story of a red crayon which is really blue despite its label.
Apparently there is no mention of either sexuality or politics in the book rather. The book it seems was included in the general academic curriculum to tech children about Title IX issues

Major upheaval coming in #NorthCarolina.
In this state, the Gov's party has a majority on election boards. Right now, that's Dems.
So, in the lead-up to the 2024, GOP is on the brink of passing a law that'd upend election boards in lead-up to 2024: take away Dem majorities & create a structure prone to gridlock.

I joined a group from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences where we observed the turtle rescue volunteers in action. We didn't get to see a nest hatch out, but did see a nest excavation. Volunteers count the hatched/unhatched eggs. In one of the nests they found two little guys that hadn't quite made it out, and we were able to watch them be released into the ocean, where they will make their way to the Gulf Stream!

The law, expected to face legal challenge, requires public school teachers in most circumstances to alert parents before they call a student by diff name or pronoun. It also bans instruction about gender identity & sexuality in K-4 classrooms, which critics have previously likened to Fla Don’t Say Gay law https://apnews.com/article/536351cc360a92cdd21f298f6212e6d2
