Apparently, the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) is “at war.” It is better described as a civil war. After all, they are fighting members of their own education establishment.

NCAE members are even wearing red on Wednesdays to show that they are “at war.” (Mixed metaphor alert: Red is probably a poor choice, considering that red is synonymous with British infantryman (Redcoats) who were mocked by the American colonists as “bloody backs” and “lobsterbacks” during the Revolutionary War.)
