N&O: NCAE not a union, even though we call it a union

Before:

“GOP overrides veto of teachers union bill” (News & Observer article*, Thursday, January 5, 2012) “Just after 1 a.m. today, in a secreted session critics called unconstitutional, Republican legislative leaders passed a bill aimed at weakening the state’s largest teachers union.”

After:

“The NCAE is not, by the way, what some Republicans imply, a union.” (News & Observer editorial, January 6, 2012)

—–

* Subsequently changed to “GOP overrides veto of bill to weaken teachers group” because the NCAE is not, by the way, what the News & Observer calls, a union.
