Yesterday, current NC State Superintendent Catherine Truitt posted a picture of herself in front of an “I Voted, Did You?” sign.
She said, “Our @ncpublicschools students deserve an experienced school leader.”
Truitt could have removed all doubt and just said that she voted for Mo Green. She has insinuated that she was not going to vote for Michele Morrow even though Morrow is the GOP nominee.
There was also this quote earlier just after the primaries from Truitt. While she may not have wanted to openly go against her party’s nominee because of “politics” and partisan loyalty, Catherine Truitt was obviously telling people to vote for Mo Green as North Carolina’s State Superintendent instead of someone who has a “complete lack of understanding.”
“In the few opportunities that I was actually sharing space with her in a panel or debate, I was shocked by her complete lack of understanding of how public schools function and what the job of state superintendent is,” Truitt said.
Yet, Morrow took Truitt’s October 29th tweet and made it about herself.
“Thank you, so much, Catherine, for encouraging people to vote for me!”
It’s hard to decide whether this post is a gross misrepresentation of Truitt’s words, a comical jab at the lack of support from the current super, just plain obliviousness, or the need to add to the word salad of tweets coming from Morrow’s campaign to somehow plug all of the leaks in her platform for just a few moments.
Or maybe all of the above.
What is known is that Michele Morrow is not an experienced school leader. She’s not really experienced in anything about NC public schools. Never been a parent of an NC public school student. Never been a teacher in NC public schools. Never even volunteered in any capacity in NC public schools.
