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.
