John Hood is accusing opponents of the Wake County school board majority of making up facts to stir up liberal support in political elections.

In a column today, Hood, president of the conservative John Locke Foundation, writes that "the obstructionists will seek to use the Wake busing case as a means of mobilizing liberal donors and voters for the 2010 election cycle." He writes that "such a use doesn’t require that their various allegations bear any relationship to reality."

Hood proceeds to give his own version of a frequently asked questions list.

The Wake Education Partnership is weighing in on the school board races.

In this week's edition of In Context, the Partnership takes on the issues of year-round schools, construction costs and the graduation rate for low-income students. Those issues have come up at the forums sponsored by the group.
