Weird Load Nation writer Chad Nance posted a must-read piece on N.C. Speaker of the House Thom Tillis’ recent run-in with a Superior Court judge’s ruling regarding his blatant determination to strip our children of their educations.

Here’s a snippet

A Superior Court judge has told North Carolina’s ALEC backed Tea Party Republicans in the General Assembly that he will not revisit his decision to order North Carolina to provide pre-kindergarten education to all at-risk 4-year-olds. Judge Howard Manning has also informed Tea Party/GOP legislative leaders they have no legal standing to intervene in the case.

In a ruling released Friday the Wake County Judge upheld his July decision to strike

down a portion of the state budget that would limit the number of 4-year-olds in need who could enroll in pre-k programs, ruling that the state Constitution requires the state to provide a quality education to all children. This would have effectively ended the MoreatFour program and snatched it from control of the department of education. this was part of a large scheme cooked up at ALEC conferences then implemented by Thom Tillis and his fellow Tea Party crew in the General Assembly.

Tea Party Thom Tillis, himself, seemed confused and didn’t really seem to grasp what had happened to him.

  1. Free daycare for the welfare Obama bums.If you cant afford them,DONT HAVE THEM!Have any of your writers ever worked a real job or have they always worked there at the Weekly Pravda.Keep up the good work comrades.Dasvideania assholes.

  2. Spoken like the true moron you are. I would suggest you get some grammar and spelling lessons but then again that would mean you would have to get an education, and we wouldn’t want that now would we?

  3. It seems to me that antiunionthugs is another one of those toothless idiots who only care about what they can score for themselves and to hell with everyone else. Maybe if he would have had some nourishment and care when he was 4 yrs old instead of being under the porch with his uncle he wouldn’t be such a mean sicko now.

  4. I would be for the education if it actually worked but studies have shown over and over again that pre-k gains are completely lost by the 2nd or third grade. One of the highest scoring nations in the world does not start school until the age of 7 if I remember correctly. Any money should be diverted to educating troubled children that are a few years older.
