Terry, June Atkinson needs to push back. Hard. The governor’s description of Atkinson as an education “ambassador” is insulting. A man would never put up with it. And why is North Carolina electing an education “ambassador” anyway? If that’s really what’s going on, then in 2012, either Andy Griffith or Clay Aiken should get the job. And perhaps most importantly, why are North Carolina taxpayers financing the election campaign of an education “ambassador”? JLF’s Daren Bakst has a lot to say about that issue here.
