North Carolina's two largest school districts — Wake and Mecklenburg — have now both said they'll cancel classes on May 1 to allow teachers to attend the N.C. Association of Educators rally/strike in Raleigh. We go into why the NCAE is disingenuous in its rhetoric and question why school districts are leaving families high and dry. 

Plus, we discuss: 

• A minor dust-up between 9th District Republicans Stony Rushing and Dan Bishop
• A new bill to require Uber drivers to display a lighted sign
• The N&O is criticized for insensitive coverage of the Durham explosion
