A true hero, not because she took the risk to get to orbit but because she spent her life teaching.

Before losing her life in 1986 aboard Space Shuttle Challenger, Christa McAuliffe was set to be the first teacher in space with plans to teach a lesson to kids around the world from orbit. Today is her birthday, and even now, her courage and dedication to education continues to inspire.

Incredible that some people struggle with even the simplest equation, barely know introductory oversimplifications from basic biology, and manage to not get this.

Public education really is an important investment in a healthy society!

Simply put, teaching is an important job for our society. We should all want the people doing that job to be fairly compensated and able to focus their energy on teaching instead of making ends meet. #ncpol #payteachers #kidsovercorporations @wearencae.bsky.social

94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies.

85% of teachers are working second jobs during the school year, often just to keep up with the cost of living.

Meanwhile, the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

At 37 days of the "Not War," the US could have spent the same amount of money to pay the salaries of all the public school teachers in Texas and New York, combined, for one year.

The government has openly attacked our educational system for decades.

We are at the mercy of the lowest common denominator.

Why pay teachers a living wage when we can spend millions on each robot that requires costly maintenance?

No one should be taking a pay cut while prices are climbing everywhere you look, especially not school teachers. But because Phil Berger & Destin Hall are 9 months late with a state budget, that's exactly what's happening in North Carolina. #ncpol #ncga #passabudget #payteachers

While our rent, bills, health insurance, child care, and stress levels rise, we are expected to keep showing up everyday and handling our responsibilities. So why do our North Carolina lawmakers get to fumble all of theirs? #ncpol #passabudget #payteachers #fundmedicaid

#PayTeachers, MAGA Republicans want a society of poorly educated people. Why? knowledge is power, thus public education is an enemy of the State.

Early voting is happening until the 28th and today I got to cast my vote.

Thank you to the poll workers who made the process smooth and simple.

Good luck to every candidate and thank you for stepping up and running. #southey4senate #fundschools #payteachers #passabudget #voteearly

Another week, another classroom to support.

Let’s share and donate to make sure teachers and students know we are supporting them while they wait for a budget.

If Mississippi can raise teacher pay and also block vouchers that destroy public schools, then we can too. #payteachers #fundpublicschools #passabudget #southey4senate

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

It'd be SWEET if we had a state budget here in NC.

I'd LOVE to see teachers get a raise this year.

How AMAZING would it be if our state government actually funded schools?

We still don’t have a budget in NC.

Teacher pay hasn’t changed, you know what did? Their health insurance premiums.

Starting today we will be featuring a classroom each week as we help teachers while they wait for a budget. #payteachers #fundschools #passabudget #southey4senate

My entire campaign is about making sure NC public schools and the teachers, staff, and students that attend them get the funding and help they need. #southey4senate #fundpublicschools #fundleandro #payteachers
An image on Southey 4 Senate letter head with "My Plan for Fighting for Our Future" with a bullet list of items Southey will push for in office. Fully fund public schools, increase teacher pay, increase pay for support staff, expand pre-K and child care programs, and stop the expansion of vouchers.

I’m not one to look to universe for signs very often. But the fact that I’m running for office and I discovered this picture from 6 years ago feels like the universe telling me it’s the right time to try. #southey4senate #fundpublicachools #payteachers #letsturnthisthingaround #NCSD25
