WRAL reports on a revolution in Wake County as voters finally get their chance to speak with authority against the Wake County Public School System’s annual disruptions of school assignments:
Raleigh, N.C. — Wake County voters gave a thumbs-down Tuesday to assigning local students based on socioeconomic factors by electing candidates to the Board of Education who oppose the controversial policy.
Chris Malone won the District 1 seat on the school board, while Deborah Pickett won in District 7 and Debra Goldman took District 9.
John Tedesco was leading in the District 2 race, with incumbent Horace Tart a distant third. But Tedesco lacked the majority of votes that would preclude a runoff next month.
All four candidates were endorsed by community groups like WakeCARES and the Wake Schools Community Alliance because they said they were willing to change the district’s student assignment policies. …
Together with school board member Ron Margiotta, the four new board members — if Tedesco wins in District 2 — would give diversity policy opponents a majority on the nine-person board. …
Shockingly, voters ignored that redoubtable bibliography, likely because they have a deeper understanding of the problem.
Also, expect the local Angry Left to spin these results as racist — which admittedly is not that much of a prediction given that accusing people who dissent from their policies of racism is the sole weapon in their arsenal these days.
