Off With Their Heads!
2009-12-04 - by
The new majority took over the Wake County school board like the Jacobins took over Paris.
Replacing a board that was seen as high-handed and arrogant, they set new standards for high-handed and arrogant.
One step got little attention. The board hired a Republican lawyer. Unclear is whether they fired Tharrington and Smith, which has one of the state’s largest education practices.
Is this retribution for Wade Smith speaking out in the campaign against resegregation?
This board – after one meeting – has alienated half of Wake County, including teachers.
It won’t take them long to antagonize the other half.
But how much damage will they do first?
