Posted on February 28, 2016 by A.P. Dillon

Another day, another set of echo chamber remarks from the “equity” obsessed Wake County School Board.

At the Wake Board’s recent retreat, the board was ticked off that school choice, in the form of Charter schools, is booming in the district. Instead of asking why, their response was to sling insults at charter schools and by proxy, parents choosing charters for their children. Continue reading →
