To Be Human Is wrote "You must be a democrat

TIME TO THINK ABOUT THE KIDS - and STOP letting politics (mostly Democrats with political agendas) rule the WCPSS board, like has happened for dozens upon dozens of years.

Even those who don't live in Wake County see that and fully understand the child negligence, in the way of putting children in harm's way awaiting buses in the dark (that never come), that the Democrats have subscribed to in that county, and it's shameful for the entire state."

Is is actually the hyper-partisan republican school board that made national headlines and political humor shows with its political agenda first- kids last ranting. That is why they were booted in the next election. Those who so desperately want to tack "us vs them" mentality to the school board are the ones responsible for its weaknesses. I'm sure there were parents who supported Tata because he was hired to resegregate the schools. That did not make him competent as a superintendent.

gen ral tata, SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION- big mac's first MAJOR MISTAKE.

"I wonder how many hearts he broke over his years of firing people"

huh? Who'd he fire? If you're going to make the accusation, back it up.

How does one fire anyone in the military by the way? And as his short term as WCPSS super, he didn't fire people, may have laid off a few as was well overdue given how bloated administration was under Del Burns ("Yes, all 234 administrators are necessary" - that Del Burns)

I wonder how many hearts he broke over his years of firing people

beaupeep - "Well, that makes 26 of you."

ROFLOL LOL LOL

Wake County School Board. What a JOKE!!!

very true CrewMax. Mr. Tata, very, very glad to know you will be serving our state.

Interesting that a couple months before the firing board members were singing his praises. I am tickled that we wil get the benifit of his leadership at the state level. But, we are still afflicted with the clowns that fired him. At least until the next election.

birkie74693 - "well over a dozen teachers and a dozen parents who are friends, all think Tata was completely lost in the job, and made things much much worse before he was finally tossed out."

You're vastly outnumbered!!!

Hundreds upon hundreds of parents appreciate what he did, and dozens upon dozens of educators - teachers and principals alike who were interviewed during his superintendency, are as well.

You must be a democrat, and a sour one at that.

George Armstrong Tata is probably heartbroken because his incompetence was so brutally exposed during his brief but disastrous reign as supernintendo of the school system. I'm deeply amused by all the people pretending he did a good job; my wife and well over a dozen teachers and a dozen parents who are friends, all think Tata was completely lost in the job, and made things much much worse before he was finally tossed out." birkie74693

Well, that makes 26 of you.
