I'm Nick Craig. Good morning to you and happy kickoff to the month of May.
Well, we start off with the May Day protests taking place at the North Carolina General Assembly. Coming up later on this morning, thousands of educators from across the state are expected to make their way to our state capitol for a major rally hosted by the state's teachers union, the North Carolina Association of Educators, known as NCAE. The event is called the Kids Over Corporation Rally. The campaign is set to mobilize educators, parents, and community members across the state to push for changes in the public education funding and policy. NCAE President Tamika Walker Kelly said in a recent press release, this is our line in the sand.
We will not back down when it comes to ensuring our children receive the education they need and deserve. We will not back down in demanding qualified educators in every classroom are safe and well-resourced schools for every student in North Carolina. This coming, while dozens of school districts across the Tar Hills State have adjusted their calendars, many doing so just within the last couple of days to allow teachers to go to Raleigh for said protest. A lot of PTO requests, a lot of sick requests for many of these school districts, prompting many of them to move to what is called a teacher workday, in which those same educators are supposed to be in the classroom catching up on paper, putting grades in the computers, getting literature and coursework ready for the coming weeks and months. Many of them, however, will be making their way to downtown Raleigh.
Here are some of the requests from the North Carolina Association of Educators. Invest at least $20. $50,000 per student by 2030, a 25% raise for all school employees, and a complete and total elimination. Of the state's opportunity scholarship private school voucher program, a lift on the ban for collective bargaining for public school workers. They also have other items, including passing fair maps, protecting voting rights, and restoring checks and balances in state government, and finally, fixing our tax system so the wealthy finally pay their fair share.
According to Dr. Bob Lubke, who is the director of the Center for Effective Education at the John Locke Foundation, he says setting a spending floor of about $20,000 per student is a terrible idea. There are school districts that spend much less than that and do well, and there are those that spend much more and do not so well. Noting that money is not unimportant, but how it is spent is more important than exactly how much. Much of the discussion that will take place at Halifax Mall in downtown Raleigh today during the Kids Over Corporation protest will be about public school funding and teacher salaries.
And of course, we'll include some of the other wish list items there from NCAE. Brian Proffitt, who is a public school teacher in Durham County, is the vice president of the North Carolina Association of Educators. He this week was on a nationwide press conference with other teachers union officials from across the country, highlighting the event taking place in North Carolina. Here's Brian Proffitt. Hello, good afternoon everyone.
My name is Brian Proffitt and I'm a high school history teacher by trade and the vice president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, our state's public school staff union, and our statewide affiliate of the National Education Association. I feel privileged to be kicking off this press conference to share the news from North Carolina and let everyone across the country know, in the words of Andre Benjamin, that the South has something to say. This Friday, for the third time in eight years, the North Carolina Association of Educators will lead thousands of public school educators, students, parents, our supporters, and other workers in one of the biggest labor actions that our state has ever seen. This Friday, for the third time in eight years, in a state with the worst labor laws in the country and where lots of folks get tricked into thinking that unions are illegal, we are taking action that unites our workplaces and our communities in solidarity in a way that only public school workers can do. This Friday, for the third time in eight years, close to 20 school districts across the state have closed in solidarity with educators who have put in our hard-earned personal days to spend our day working in Raleigh, our state's capital, advocating for our students and our schools and our communities as part of the Kids Over Corporations campaign.
That's Brian Prophet, the vice president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, highlighting back just a couple of days ago the event set to take place in Raleigh coming up a little bit later on this morning. Back to Dr. Bob Lubke, the director of the Center for Effective Education at the John Locke Foundation. He says, if you believe the North Carolina Association of Educators, you'd think that North Carolina spent no money on public education. In the 24-25 school year, North Carolina spent $18 billion in state, federal, and local dollars on K-12 education.
Since 2016, enrollment in North Carolina's public schools is down about 5%, while real student spending per student is up around 7%. With the major topic of discussion being about teacher pay and wages, as I mentioned, the NCAE asking for a 25% increase in pay for all school employees, a request that would cost a whopping $2.6 billion to pay for alone if the raises were the same for all public school workers and employees across the state of North Carolina. Senate Leader Phil Berger, the Republican from Rockingham County, said on Thursday that teacher pay does, in fact, remain a priority for the North Carolina Senate, saying in part, one of the concerns I have about the whole debate is we spend so much time and there's so much attention on inputs in education, including how much are you paying? How much are you funding? How much are you spending?
That sort of thing, and not enough attention to what should the outcomes be and how are we actually. Actually, doing. Quite frankly, North Carolina is actually doing fairly well with reference to outcomes, which is something that many in the North Carolina General Assembly continue to point to as this discussion rolls out and has played out over the last couple of weeks. More from Brian Proffitt, the vice president of the North Carolina Association of Educators. That campaign aims to draw a moral line in the sand.
And demand that politicians join up with the overwhelming majority of North Carolinians who, in poll after poll, name that they want more investment in public schools. An end to corporate tax cuts, a restoration of our democracy, and the expansion of union rights. Those poll numbers reflect the real majority of our state: black, white, brown, native and immigrant, rural and urban, Republican and Democrat, from the mountains to the coast. That majority, given the choice, chooses our kids over corporate greed again and again. And yet, despite overwhelming majorities that demand funds for our kids' futures, our corporate-backed legislature, empowered through racist gerrymandering, has turned our state into a tax haven for the wealthy and their corporate donors.
They proudly tout that our state is number one in the country for business, but have nothing to say about our state being 46th in the country in teacher pay and dead last in funding with respect to our ability. And that's why nearly 20 school districts have shut down and thousands of people will gather at our state capitol in one of the biggest displays of people power in our state's history. We are deeply honored to share this press conference with so many of our friends and heroes, and we look forward to joining millions of people across the country in the streets on Friday, demanding a future that prioritizes the needs of our kids and communities over the greed of corporations and billionaires. Thank you. Again, that's Brian Prophet, the vice president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, back just a couple of days ago, leading up to the Kids Over Corporation rally taking place in Raleigh today.
Many items straying away from public education. You heard directly from Prophet about gerrymandered maps that he claimed were racist in the North Carolina General Assembly. And so while many of the individuals heading to Raleigh today will be continuing to fight for teacher pay, it does appear that there will be some other political causes and other topics of conversation taking place within the rally and within the protest. There's some major amounts of school districts, more than 22 across the state. Have either canceled class all out today or have moved to that teacher workday schedule that I was mentioning.
That includes the vast majority of our large school districts: Wake County Public Schools, Durham Public Schools, Chatham, CMS, Chapel Hill, Carborough City Schools, Asheville, Guilford, many of those school districts, just three, including the new Hanover County School Board that decided not to adjust their school calendar, their school schedule for the NCAE protest. With one of the board members there, Josie Barnhart, calling the request politically motivated and saying that the district would not bow to political pressure. She said during an emergency board meeting just a few weeks ago, as a member of this board, my duty is to put students first, and that means recognizing that education is a partnership with parents, not a tool for political activism. When we alter, delay, or close schools, it creates real disruptions for families across this district, especially working families and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds who do not have the luxury of flexible schedules or backup child care. These decisions have real consequences.
All eyes will be on the North Carolina General Assembly today. It is important to note that lawmakers are not in town according to the published calendar by the North Carolina House for the 2026 short session. And even during the traditional long session, it is very rare that lawmakers are in Raleigh on Friday. That is what we are expecting today, as well as the NCAE is encouraging and likely will succeed in getting thousands of teachers and other individuals that work within the public school system across the state of North Carolina to our state capitol. There will not be many, if any, lawmakers on hand in Raleigh today.
We will be keeping a close eye on this throughout the day over on our website, CarolinaJournal.com, and of course, have the latest coming up for you right here on the Carolina Journal News Hour.

Spent some time earlier this week talking to our good buddy Mitch Coke from the John Locke Foundation about a major decision that the U.S.
Supreme Court ruled on as it relates to redistricting out of Louisiana.
However, there was another decision by the Supreme Court as it related to donor privacy. And that brings us to our story this morning with the head of the John Locke Foundation and Donald Bryson praising the nation's highest court for its unanimous decision in a donor privacy case in New Jersey. Here are some of the details. The case called First Choice Women's Resource Center versus Davenport. In that case, the high court ruled that the faith-based pregnancy center has legal standing to make a First Amendment challenge to a subpoena from the New Jersey Attorney General.
The case started all the way back in 2023 when then New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Plankton sent a subpoena seeking First Choice's donor list and other information. The John Locke Foundation CEO Donald Bryson said, today's unanimous Supreme Court decision is a major victory for donor privacy and freedom of association. The court made clear that government demands for private donor lists and information can chill First Amendment rights even before those demands are enforced. He went on to say North Carolina lawmakers understood this principle when they enacted the Personal Privacy Protection Act over. Governor Josh Stein's veto in July of 2025.
That law protects the privacy of nonprofit donors, members, volunteers, and supporters from government overreach. Highlighting that donor privacy is not a partisan issue, it is a constitutional safeguard for every American who wants to support a cause without the fear of intimidation or retaliation. Justice Neil Gorges, writing for the U.S. Supreme Court in that unanimous opinion, said, A federal law, 42 U.S.C. 1983, authorizes suits against any person who, under color of state law, deprives another of his federal constitutional rights.
First Choice filed a complaint under that statute, arguing, among other things, that the Attorney General's demand for information about its donors violates the First Amendment. Gorsuch went on to say, specifically, First Choice observed that the First Amendment prohibits the government from discouraging people from associating with others in pursuit of many political, social, economic, educational, religious, and cultural ends. And First Choice alleged that the Attorney General's subpoena had just that effect. For its donors that the group represented, autonomy is a paramount of importance, and its inability to guarantee that anonymity in the face of the Attorney General's demands injured the group by discouraging donors from associating with it. First Choice sought a preliminary injunction blocking the subpoena.
A federal judge rejected that injunction and dismissed a First Choice's lawsuit against the then Attorney General in New Jersey at the time. A trial court then forced on the fact that the subpoena itself did not compel the production of those donor lists from the women's advocate. Advocacy group with Neil Gorsuch writing, given the absence of any state court order compelling production, the district court reasoned that First Choice had yet suffered injury from what the subpoena was supposed to ask, thus lacking Article 3 standing to challenge it in federal court. The third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals split when upholding the trial judge's decision, with Gorsuch saying, We are not asked to decide if the merits of First Choice's federal lawsuit, only whether it may proceed.
To have legal standing, First Choice needed to show that it had suffered, in fact, injury, he explained. Neil Gorsuch went on to say, before us, First Choice advances two arguments for why it can satisfy the injury in fact requirement. First, the group submits that the Attorney General's subpoena itself and specifically its demands for donor information and noted that it has caused it to suffer an actual and ongoing injury to its First Amendment rights by deterring donors from associating with the group. Second, First Choice contends that it faces an imminent future injury because with the subpoena coming a credible threat from the Attorney General that would seek to enforce it in state court if the group failed to comply. For our purposes, it suffices to address only the first theory as it is enough to carry the day.
The Supreme Court opinion that again was unanimous went on to say the First Amendment guarantees all Americans the right to speak, worship, publish, assemble, and petition their government freely. Each of these rights, this court has long understood necessary carries with it a corresponding right to associate with others. Neil Gorsuch and many of the other Supreme Court justices go on in their lengthy opinion. This is a major win, as we already heard from Donald Bryson, the CEO of the John Locke Foundation. A major decision for donor privacy, not only in, of course, in the state of New Jersey and not only for the First Choice Women's Resource Center, but for all nonprofit groups, of which the John Locke Foundation is many other groups across not only North Carolina, but the rest of the United States, for the ability of individuals to donate to said groups without the risk that that donor information will be provided to either a state or federal government, or more accurately, compelled to be provided to a state or federal government in many cases for partisan reasons.
That was one of the few major decisions from the United States Supreme Court this week. As I mentioned just a few minutes ago, another ruling dealing with redistricting and dealing with majority-minority districts. We talked about that with Mitch Coke earlier this week.

It's 536. Welcome back to the Carolina Journal News Hour, Charlotte's FM News Talk, 107.9 FM, WBT. Turning our attention back to some state news this morning. North Carolina Governor Josh Stein signed a $319 million Medicaid bill into law on Thursday that will fund the Medicaid rebase for the rest of the fiscal year. With the governor saying during a press conference at the governor's mansion on Thursday, for months, the status of Medicaid in North Carolina has been in an unnecessary jeopardy.
But I'm relieved to say that the bill that I will be signing will provide certainty and care that people and providers of this state need and deserve. Highlighting that the bill also protects the state's Medicaid expansion population of more than 725,000 new individuals. That brings the total number of about 3 million North Carolinians that are on Medicaid across the state. House Bill 696 passed both the House and the Senate earlier this week on Tuesday, with lawmakers saying that the measure also includes a series of reforms to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse within the state's Medicaid program. The bill would implement several policy changes designed to strengthen eligibility verification and program integrity.
They include a couple of the following: shifting eligibility reviews from quarterly to monthly, requiring stronger documentation standards, mandating citizenship and immigration status verification during not only enrollment, but also that redetermination, which will be taking place monthly, directing the state auditor to conduct a comprehensive review of Medicaid and related workforce programs, and requiring annual reports from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services on efforts to combat fraud and abuse within the system. The bill also calls for DHHS to develop a long-term Medicaid integrity and efficiency plan to identify cost-saving opportunities and to reduce administrative burdens. In addition, lawmakers included new guardrails on applied behavioral analysis known as ABA therapy. We've talked about that over the last few weeks here on the Carolina Journal News Hour. That service is used to treat children with autism.
These include limits on telehealth use, stricter supervision requirements, and updated credentialing standards for the providers providing said therapy. These changes aim to ensure quality care while controlling costs, which have been a major issue. The governor also said that he was gratified that the North Carolina General Assembly heeded the calls for urgent actions on other items in his critical needs budget that included addressing budget shortfalls, including some of those within the Department of Adult Corrections. The State Bureau of Investigations and the Division of Motor Vehicles, all of which he said would have faced increased workloads without enough funding to fulfill their missions and keep people safe, as well as scholarships for children of veterans are no longer in jeopardy. This piece of legislation, the large portion of it, of course, the Medicaid rebase, but other things, including $80 million in non-recurring funds for the Department of Adult Corrections, $13.1 million recurring and $8.5 million non-recurring for the Division of Motor Vehicles, that's DMV, $10 million reoccurring for scholarships benefiting children of wartime veterans, and finally, $2.5 million in recurring funding for the SBI, that's the State Bureau of Investigation.
However, the governor said that he would be remiss not to highlight some of the real concerns that he has with the legislation, even though he had no problem signing it into law, including the elimination of health care coverage. For nearly 27,000 children and pregnant women, who he said were lawfully present in the United States, which the governor claimed include victims of human trafficking, green card holders, refugees, and other immigrants with legal status. The governor going straight to the point saying depriving these vulnerable women and children health care coverage is wrong. Adding that based on conversations he's had with the General Assembly, they have an intention to fix it. The governor also said this bill also adds red tape that will force some North Carolinians to wait three months longer than nearly every other state in the country to get Medicaid benefits that they're eligible to receive.
And at a time when healthcare costs are burdening working families, the bill increases Medicaid expansion recipient copays for many types of doctor visits and for prescription drugs. He went on to say, I'm encouraged that many members of the North Carolina General Assembly have seen and expressed concerns about these issues as well.
So there's still time to address them and other bills in the short session. Stein also said that the General Assembly should appropriate reoccurring funding for Medicaid, noting not one-time money so that we can avoid this painful process every year, calling on lawmakers to protect the program for those who rely on it and keep our entire health care system strong. Again, the governor did have an opportunity if he did not like the legislation and he had major concerns of which some he laid out at the governor's mansion on Thursday. He did have the ability to veto this legislation if he felt that it was not appropriate for North Carolinians and the state as a whole.
However, he chose to sign it and it is now law. State Senator Benton Sawyery, the Republican from Johnston County, who serves as one of the state's senate's rather. Health co-chairs, as well as the co-chair of the Senate's Medicaid Oversight Committee, said. That he agreed with Stein that there are some headwinds and challenges with Medicaid in the state for the foreseeable future, including a $1 billion rebase for the upcoming fiscal year. He said that while they have addressed the problem at hand with an additional $319 million, they are considering increased appropriations in future years.
With Senator Sawyer saying, the cost of Medicaid in North Carolina has increased by over 90% over the past five years. The billion dollars, that's the money that we could send back to taxpayers in terms of income tax relief. That's money for state employees' raises. That's investments in our colleges and community colleges. That's investments in our state buildings and infrastructure and roads across the state.
This Medicaid rebase isn't happening in a vacuum, and we have a dual responsibility. The General Assembly, one to the patients, and two, the taxpayers, to deliver. A healthier North Carolina. He added that the bill challenges the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services to come up with and implement it because they are having debates about the budget that is going to be forthcoming and that choices are going to have to be made, noting that they will need to be a partner at the table if this thing is going to happen. Senator Sauri saying during the press conference, I'm proud of the work that we did to get this across the finish line, but I don't have any illusions at all that this is a current solution that is going to fix for everything going forward.
We've got more work to do and we're going to do it with DHS, with our partners in the General Assembly, and with our partners in the provider community. Governor Josh Stein said that he was grateful to all of the lawmakers in both parties who played a role in passing the bill and said that he looked forward to working with them in the short session, with the governor closing out at least portions of his remarks by saying, Today's bill signing reaffirms we can work together on a bipartisan basis and get stuff done for the people of North Carolina.
So let's keep going. Let's have a productive short session and let's finally pass a fiscally responsible budget that keeps the state of North Carolina strong.
Some other individuals also speaking at the press conference, State Representative Sarah Crawford, the Democrat from Wake County, who also serves as the CEO of the Tammy Lynn Center for the Developmentally Disabled. Josh Dobson, the president and CEO of the North Carolina Healthcare Association, and Margaret Stargill, the president and CEO of Coastal Horizons, a facility out of Wilmington, who also spoke at the press conference. Obviously, the rebase, as we just went through some of the details, has been funded. That $319 million has been added.
So in the immediate short term, There should be no concerns about funding within the Medicaid program in North Carolina. But as the issue was continued to be highlighted by Senator Brenton Sauri, the big concern is the ongoing costs of Medicaid in North Carolina, which could potentially cost taxpayers billions of dollars a year. As he noted, the costs and some of the pricing within the Medicaid program have gone up 90-plus percent in just the last five years since the North Carolina General Assembly decided to expand Medicaid across the state. This will continue to be an issue not only for current lawmakers as they continue to debate the budget in Raleigh, but for every General Assembly going forward, adding nearly a billion dollars to the state budget is a very significant amount of money, and lawmakers will be dealing with that for some time to come. You can read more about the governor signing this legislation, some additional details in House Bill 696, all of those details this morning over on our website.

Welcome back to the Carolina Journal News Hour, Charlotte's FM News Talk, 107.9 FM, WBT recapping our top story this morning. Thousands of educators from across the state of North Carolina, as part of the North Carolina Association of Educators Kids Over Corporations protest, are expected to make their way to our state capitol today. More specifically, the Halifax Mall in downtown Raleigh to call on the North Carolina Legislature and General Assembly to increase not only teacher pay but education funding across the state of North Carolina. That is prompted at this count now 22 school districts over the last few weeks that have made changes to their school calendar, either canceling school outright, sending kids home to work on a remote workday, or allowing what is called a teacher workday to take place. Many folks across the state will be keeping an eye on that event today.
We'll keep you up to date with the details over on our website, CarolinaJournal.com. On the topic of education, a preliminary analysis of fall 2025 testing data has raised questions about whether some public school students are cheating on those tests. This is according to an April the 29th announcement by North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction, Mo Green. Green announced that the State Department of Public Instruction, that's DPI, would commission an independent third-party audit of testing administration and data integrity. At the press conference, Greene stopped short of invalidating any prior results, but he warned that ongoing testing security problems threaten the credibility of student achievement data across the state.
With Green saying in part, my concern is if we don't eliminate issues like cell phones and other devices being in the testing environment and snapshots of our tests showing up online, then our test results will be called into question, and that would be unfortunate because our students deserve to be celebrated for their hard-earned accomplishments. When pressed on specifics, the superintendent said that DPI's accountability and testing team had reviewed a small statewide sample on a single tested subject. The analysis shows students who had previously not performed on grade level scoring, quote, well, and in some cases, very well above on a retest. While small, the cohort was drawn from across North Carolina rather than a single district, Green said, adding that no results at this point have been invalidated. In addition to the audit, Green said that DPI will expand monitoring of the test environments, work with its testing vendor on real-time detection tools, and review existing policies.
Mo Green, the superintendent of North Carolina's public schools, attributed much of the concern to the rapid evolution of consumer technologies, tools such as cell phones, smartwatches, smartware, and AI resources that could be threatening testing integrity. With Green also acknowledging that snapshots of state exams have appeared online, meaning students taking copies and pictures of the exam, posting it online, and then helping other students out that are yet to take the test. DPI issued guidance to every district and charter school last April, with the state also conducting unannounced monitoring visits, strengthening protection practices, and added a step requiring all students to affirm that they will only use approved devices before. For each end-of-course exam. With Mo Green saying, despite all of these efforts, we are continuing to see cell phones and unauthorized technology devices during the testing.
In September, DPI reported improvement on 12 of 15 math and reading assessments, a decade-high four-year graduation rate of 87.7%, and gains in school performance grades. At that time, Green tied the number to his strategic plan of making North Carolina's public schools the best in the nation by 2030. Green spent most of the press conference appealing directly for help, asking media outlets to spread two different messages: schools need volunteer proctors for the spring window, and that students, educators, and adults in the testing environment need to exhibit strong moral character. This supervising of students, these proctors, according to Mo Green, will help keep the testing environment. Free of unauthorized activity.
And he also added that the volume of need will vary by district, with some public school units relying on non-tested subject teachers and others leaning on parents and community volunteers. This is going to be and could be a major problem for DPI if it turns out a vast majority of students are cheating on their end-of-the-year exams. We'll keep you up to date with the details right here on the Carolina Journal News Hour. That's going to do it for a Friday edition. We're back with you Monday morning, 5 to 6, right here on Charlotte's FM News Talk, 107.9 FM, WBT.
