I am not surprised to hear State Board of Education member John Tate (who represents Anson, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Stanly, and Union counties) speak out against the the charter school, testing, and tax credit bills making their way through the General Assembly.

As per State Board of Education policy, there is no public comment period. So, Tate’s misguided comments will go unchecked. Cowards.
