Community Organizer Worries About ‘School To Prison Pipeline’ – #nced #ncpol

The tactic is to protest using similar escalating methods like ones we’ve seen at Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter.

The difference is this time, it’s middle school and high school kids. With professional agitators supporting them.

CMS Teachers Upset Commissioners Want New Term Length – #cms #nced

Posted on October 28, 2015 by A.P. Dillon

According to the Charlotte Observer, teachers in Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools (CMS) are mad the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Commissioners want to increase their term limit. The board wants to change their term limit from 2 years to 4 years.

While this Commissioner board term limit change is arguably worth protesting, it’s not the real reason. To borrow from Mr. Alinsky, “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.”
