Former Gov. Jim Hunt is being honored for driving school reform in North Carolina, and he plans to talk about what President-elect Barack Obama should do for education.
North Carolina State University honors the four-term governor on Wednesday with an award from an education innovation institute [College of Education’s William and Ida Friday Institute for Educational Innovation].
Now survey the reader comments, like:
I would put Jim Hunt as being the one person most responsible for the pathetic public school situation that is the nightmare we have today.
Gov. Hunt did NOTHING for this great State of ours but TAX TAX TAX us to death.
Failure is not the point to democrats. The point is he TRIED gosh darn it! He TRIED!
Yes thank you hunt for the flailing system and the tons of debt you inflicted on the State.
His quality work laid the foundation for the system we currently have. Soon our drop-out rate will be over 50 percent and his greatness will be even more evident….
The people of North Carolina have spoken.
