Yesterday I drove through Raleigh’s Five Points neighborhood when I noticed a handful of signs tacked onto the utility poles. Usually these are advertising home-buying services, or fix-your-bad-debt services, but these were different. They say “We Hate Teachers – NCGOP” and below this is a phone number of 1-800-ART-POPE. I hear these signs are popping up all around Raleigh, with another group around Wiley Elementary.
I don’t know who created or posted the signs and I have my doubts they’ll do anything useful. I don’t think Art Pope hates teachers and the N.C. GOP doesn’t,. either. Still, I did chuckle at the audacity of it all.
