8-28-23: Gaston GOP Chair Talks Dems & Schools

Tune in here to this ​Wednesday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the controversy involving the Gaston County Schools and the Harris-Walls political campaign. He explains that an operative named Reed Brunig, associated with the Harris-Walls 2024 Victory Campaign and the North Carolina Democratic Party, sent emails to around 400 teachers and school administrators in Gaston County. The emails encouraged them to forward information to their students about volunteering for the Harris-Walls campaign.

and Jensen emphasizes that this action is illegal, as it involves using public school resources (emails and communication platforms) for political campaigning, which is against North Carolina law. He cites specific state statutes and school board policies that prohibit government employees, including teachers, from using public resources to endorse or oppose political candidates or causes. Some teachers and administrators allegedly forwarded the email to students and parents, violating these rules.
