Teachers association endorses Wake school board candidates

The North Carolina Association of Educators has named its choices in the October school board election in Wake County. The NCAE endorsed Rita Rakestraw from District 1; Horace Tart from District 2; Karen Simon from District 7; and Lois Nixon from District 9.

“The candidates Wake NCAE recommends are people who have many of the same priorities for our communities and our children as we do,” said Jennifer Lanane, president of the Wake NCAE.

The group represents 5,000 employees of the Wake County Public School System.

Not voting for someone because of an endorsement. How..."knee-jerk"

And you fail to understand an endorsement by an organization means the candidate agrees with the organization's principles!! "Knee jerk" is more common to liberalism than conservatism as it is based more on emotion than reason.

You need to pop this story back to the top, since it died over the weekend before anyone could get this news! We think it's very important to let all the teachers know that the same organization who lied to them about "just voting for Bev, she'll take care of us" is now lying to them about who to vote for in the upcoming school board election. Voting for anyone NCAE supports is your 2nd kiss of death!
