Tell Rep. Tim Moffitt how important education is to North Carolina!
Lawmakers slashed funding for public education, which forced local districts to lay-off 1,800 teachers and teacher assistants. They also cut funding for early childhood programs Smart Start and NC Pre-K by 20%. Why? Rep. Tim Moffitt of Buncombe County revealed his views in a recent education oversight committee meeting when no media were watching. “I am very suspect of early childhood education,” Moffitt said. “I am very suspect of education in general.” Lots of suspicion and budget slashing, but no suggestions for solutions.
