North Carolina is making headlines this week with major political and policy shifts that could impact millions. Medicaid funding is at risk, and state leaders are fighting back against proposed federal budget cuts that could strip health care from over 3 million North Carolinians and cost the state billions.
Meanwhile, High Point University walked back a controversial ban on 49 DEI-related words after facing legal scrutiny and backlash. Plus, North Carolina Democrats have re-elected Anderson Clayton as state party chair, setting the tone for their strategy in upcoming elections. And, the state legislature is moving forward with a crackdown on cell phone use in schools, but not everyone agrees on the best approach.
