Episode Details

Two North Carolina school districts, Wake and Cumberland, abruptly closed schools for Friday due to a mass teacher walkout in Raleigh, demanding higher pay and more school funding. The Kids Over Corporations rally aligns with nationwide May Day worker protests. Parents are divided, with some facing last-minute childcare issues and others supporting the cause. Lawmakers are at odds over teacher raises, with proposals ranging from 3.3% to 5.8% over two years. North Carolina ranks 43rd in teacher pay, risking a further drop to 46th if no action is taken.
