Bridget Hurley, a fourth-grade student in Asheville, knows what she wants.
“I would like to go back to school,” she said. Her district, Buncombe County Schools, hasn’t had any in-person classes since Christmas, and Bridget misses her classmates.
“She learns better at school,” her mother, Cherylin Hurley, added. “They need to be in school. Safety has to be the first thing, but if grocery stores can open and other things can open, why not schools?”
At a press conference Tuesday, Gov. Roy Cooper agreed.
“We’ve learned much more about this virus, and now it’s time to get our children back into the classroom,” he said.

Pride or appropriation? Two North Carolina towns are the sites of fierce battles over American Indian imagery.

The mascot for South Point High School Red Raiders is an American Indian man with an earring and a long feather running alongside a mohawk. It’s an image Isabella Lanford would like to erase.
Lanford grew up in Belmont, a small city in Gaston County near Charlotte. In the mid-2010s, she attended Belmont Middle School (nickname: the Wildcats) and thought she’d join her classmates for the ninth grade at South Point High.
A home football game changed her mind. Lanford, a Lumbee Indian, saw South Point fans in face paint carrying fake tomahawks. Most of the crowd was white. When the Red Raiders scored, many cupped their hands over their mouths and released stereotypical Native American war cries.
The claim: Joe Biden s inauguration had the lowest ratings in history.
Soon after President Joe Biden was sworn into office on Jan. 20, multiple social media posts made nearly identical claims that questioned the number of votes Biden received in the 2020 election by stating his inauguration had the lowest viewership in history.
Several Facebook posts include a screenshot of a tweet, or its exact words: “Joe Biden has the lowest TV rating and online views in US history for a Presidential Inauguration Day. But somehow received 84 million votes. I can’t wait for them to explain this one.
The tweet had been retweeted 2,500 times before it was deleted. The Twitter user told USA TODAY she did not have evidence to support the claim, which she had first seen on Facebook.
