Posted on May 14, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Occupy Monday welcomed back the NC General Assembly today… hooraaaaay.

Now, with 78% more hyperbole and indignation! “@NCCapitol: A sequel to last summer’s Moral Monday protests at #ncga set to begin Monday.”

The union desiring arm of the NCAE (Organize2020) that keeps pushing campaigns using our kids as their couriers was there:

#May14 the #NCGA comes back. @NCAE @ncnaacp @NCStateAFLCIO will be there to greet them. #ForwardTogether #OrganizeTheSouth — Organize 2020 (@Organize2020) May 14, 2014

In the tradition adopted last year, it’s the biggest Moral Monday yet! No, not really:

UNCW Takes Another Stab At Teacher Pay Survey

Remember that skewed, unscientific “survey” from UNCW? Well, if at first you don’t succeed with your push poll survey, try and try again.  This time, the NCAE is pushing it. This one is clearly geared towards…

Update On Cox Mills HS “TownHall”

Posted on May 12, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Several weeks ago, I reported on a “townhall” that was held at Cox Mills High in Cabarrus county. That “townhall” included political candidates, one of which made a political speech. That candidate is Earle Schecter, the NY transplant running as a Democrat against incumbent Larry Pittman. State Superintendent and CCSSO President, June Atkinson, was also present but Rep. Larry Pittman confirmed to me that he was not informed of this event. I asked the question, was this a Democrat campaign event or a townhall?

The answer is a bit of both.

I’ve received official word from both Cabarrus County Schools AND the Cabarrus Democrat Party. Let’s run this down in order. Continue reading →

Southern Poverty Hate Center Labels Moms & Dads as ‘Extremists”

Posted on May 11, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Happy Mother’s Day! You’re an extremist!

The same outfit who created a “hate map” from which would-be mass murderer Floyd Lee Corkins took his targets from has just labeled citizens concerned about what their children are learning in school as ‘extremists’. You could say that you just can’t make this stuff up, but apparently Southern Poverty Law Center can.
Hey @splcenter, are Chicago Teachers Union members extremists too? You incredible jackasses. http://t.co/W8clbPmZSU

No, I’m not kidding. The Southern Poverty Hate Law Center has just completed their circle of hypocrisy and beclownment. Yet another “politicizing” attack on Common Core opposition. Southern Poverty Hate Center is no Arne Duncan. They’re not just aiming at moms, they’re trying to smear the whole lot. Continue reading →

Common Core Shutuppery Theme: Politicizing

Posted on May 10, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Over the last few weeks since the North Carolina Common Core legislative study committee (LRC) released their findings, which included a bill to replace the Common Core, we’ve heard sound bite after sound bite from supporters that all contain a theme: Politicizing.

I took one egregious and hypocritical offender to task but wanted to revisit it after I found more video of her comments. I’m talking about Rep. Cotham. At the final meeting of the LRC, Rep. Tricia Cotham (who is a member of Common Core LRC) decided to grandstand and fluff her political feathers while simultaneously degrading the parents and citizens who spoke out against Common Core to the LRC.
