Racial & Economic Justice
It is nice to be in a town that has a mayor who is willing to speak to the
zeitgeist. Feeling it also, a couple of months ago I created these
designs ...
The
last one has been printed on t-shirts if anyone is interested in
partaking in some t-shirt activism ... now to show your support for our mayor's courage.
Changing our town's name by October 24
could turn an April Fools joke into a symbolic gesture to be heard
throughout the world in a time when action on climate change is dangerously
overdue. Can the joke go to symbol and then to action?
According to the latest available figures from the CHCCS budget ...
If Carrboro High School was funded at the
same level PER STUDENT as the other two district high schools, Carrboro High would
receive $2 million more a year.
Carrboro High students are budgeted 52% less PER
STUDENT than the larger high schools.
