Left-leaning groups’ efforts to establish new “national” sex education standards for public schools prompted News 14 Carolina to interview Lindalyn Kakadelis of the N.C. Education Alliance this week. News 14 also interviewed John Locke Foundation Director of Communications Mitch Kokai for stories that will appear in the next week during coverage of the South Carolina Republican presidential primary. Kokai discussed the latest state government news during his latest appearance this morning with Curtis Wright on the WAAV/WFNC morning program. Vice President for Outreach Becki Gray previewed the week’s political stories for WTSB Radio listeners Monday. She returns to the WTSB airwaves this afternoon to recap major events from the past five days. Both the Greensboro News & Record‘s “Thinking Out Loud” blog and a Smoky Mountain News letter writer referenced JLF this week. An Asheboro Courier-Tribune profile of Ashley Sherrill, the new assistant director of the Montgomery Economic Development Corporation, mentioned her previous work for the John Locke Foundation. The Ethics and Public Policy Center promoted this week John Mueller’s fall speech to JLF’s Shaftesbury Society on John Locke, the American Founders, and Scholasticism.
