Attorney General Roy Cooper Advocates for Teachers | Eastern North Carolina Now

AG Cooper still refuses to advocate for North Carolina citizens in regards to constitutional / law / legal issues. Cites that he wishes to remain above such behavior

    Publisher's note: I get these political positions from this Democrat public servant that the state Republican Party feels incapable, or possibly too incompetent, to challenge, and I wonder whatever happened to the supposed integrity in people like Attorney Roy Cooper. Now, before you immediately yell at your computer screen, "HE'S AN ATTORNEY DUMMY!", understand that he is still an elected official, and therefore, his fiduciary is to his position and the people of North Carolina, and irrespective of one's consternation of his lowly professional position, he still has the sworn obligation to act properly, professionally while still in office.

    That Democrat Roy Cooper would send me such simple announcements as if I too had the simple intellect of himself, and other devoted Democrats, is a testament to the man's purposeful interests to the exclusion of the job he is sworn to uphold. Therefore, and accordingly, I will publish the AG's Liberal Manifestos as the Attorney General's public policy, as "news releases", so that you, our readers can know the Attorney General as he presents himself, and for whatever perceived purpose he wishes to present.

News Release:

    When neighborhood teachers say they have fewer textbooks and supplies and no assistants to help teach kids this year, believe them.

    North Carolina children are going back to school full of optimism this week, but educators and parents are anxious, worrying about crowded classrooms and aging buses. Teachers are demoralized by low pay and little incentive to get more training.

    This is the work of North Carolina legislators and a governor who increased class size, cut classroom supplies, and left high-mileage buses on the road. They cut public schools so they could give tax breaks for the wealthy and out-of-state corporate shareholders. Millions more will go to vouchers for private schools.

    However, most North Carolinians believe our children’s education should be a priority, not an afterthought. You shouldn’t have to make up for a state budget that short changes schools. While we work to set the state right, I encourage all of us to help fill these gaps.

    Ask a teacher or parent you know how to help with classroom supplies, books or athletic equipment. Help local PTAs with fundraisers. Volunteer in a school if you can, and ask if you can help out as a reading coach, a test proctor or a mentor. I and many others volunteer weekly in a local school, and educators are always grateful for help.

    Thanks in advance for your help and for fighting for public schools.
