Video footage from WRAL-TV.

"I never thought the day would come when we would be looking UP to South Carolina and Mississippi on public education" - classic!!!

Thank you Senator Stein.

Senator Stein -i support you on this. This budget seems clearly designed by the GOP to destroy public education, to further their goal of privatizing education. While they are crippling public education, they have no problem proposing giving public money to families that send they're kids to private school.

The ideology of no taxes is so out of whack, that they are galvanizing around a .01 sales tax and crowing about this victory. I've seen no actual evidence that this tax has cost jobs

Forget this budget... schools are already way underfunded.  Sarah is watching tv all week in her classes. Some days we are keeping her home because they have no lessons planned this week.
