The Crisis of Public Education in North Carolina

Image
  North Carolina public schools are facing multiple crises. NC General Assembly's reactionary policy privatizing education through vouchers for charter schools is increasingly bankrupting the public schools. A significant number of Black, Brown, and working class students, who make up more than 50% of public school population (source: NC Newsline, February 24, 2022 ), attend deteriorated public schools since funds have been siphoned to private schools in the form of vouchers (source: Public School First NC, September 2022 ). The draining of funds is also putting already underfunded Pre-K Schools and child care centers (where low income families are eligible) on the verge of closure ( Source: WUNC August 30, 2024).   On top, NC teachers’ salaries are consistently declining (source: CBS17, May 2, 2024 ), forcing many teachers to quit (source: WRAL, April 3, 2024) .

Climate Change and the Global South

  Climate Change and the Global South  By Sameer Cheema * Global warming and climate change, two terms used interchangeably yet both point towards an impending doom, are the perfect example of what happens when the US and other affluent countries are left unchecked in their relentless pursuit of economic growth.

Therefore, it is heartbreaking to see these countries, that have unjustly and disproportionately benefited from their actions, clearly neglect the global crisis that they have largely caused. Climate Change and the Refugee Crisis In light of this, the need for affluent countries to open their doors to refugees escaping the effects of climate change has never been greater. It is not only a moral obligation, but a matter of basic human dece...

The Story of My Life, by Afsa Kimbi

My name is Afsa Kevine Kimbi. Here is the story of my life. My story before I moved to the USA I was born in a small city called Bujumbura. It is located in Burundi, East Africa. I lived in a refugee camp called Kavumu with my whole family: my mother, father, my big brother, three sisters, and one little brother who passed away when he was 3 years old. Living in a refugee camp was very horrible because how we had to exchange food just to buy a different food . There is a group of people called UNHCR who help everybody by giving food away like beans, rice, oil, and soybeans. Coming here was very difficult because I had to take a lot of shots and take a lot of medicine and my parents had to sign a lot of papers.  They would send this big bus called OIM-IOM to take refugees from the camp to the city. From there they asked us questions to decide which state to send us to. My father has one brother and one sister in Congo; and two brothers and one sister in Burundi. And in my mother’s f...
