Chairwoman Bedford has a valid question. How are these students able to graduate high school without being proficient at reading?
Maybe the best way to support UNC athletics is to volunteer in local schools to help our area’s struggling readers.
Maybe our checks shouldn’t be going to The Ram’s Club, but rather to The Augustine Literacy Project: augustineproject.org
UNC shouldn’t create paper classes to keep players eligible, and our coaches shouldn’t have to leave the state to find athletes who can read. Given the current state of reading for black males in NC, those may be the only two options.
