How does our Elected Reps feel about Teachers?
From Facebook,
A North Carolina teacher called the office of state Rep. Tim Moore (R-Cleveland County) last week to register her concerns about the budget; his legislative assistant, Nancy Garriss, took the call. Not realizing she hadn't actually hung up the phone after the conversation, Garriss told someone else in the office that "some idiot teacher" had called and made her "blood boil." A glimpse at how some legislative insiders regard the state's teachers.
This is hard,, but politics aside and work together to clean up this mess
#NCGA can't agree on how to deal with #coalash Tell the @usepagov to step in w/ national safeguards for #coalash http://t.co/Sfa5zOmgCj
