We may have the Claymates taking on the new Wake school board.

In a blog post on his web site Thursday, Aiken says "he's extremely disappointed" by the election results. The former American Idol contestant and Leesville Road High student calls the new school board members “selfish idiots” and says he hopes the public can get rid of them before they “ruin the school system.”

“What happened to Wake County Schools?!?1,” Aiken writes. “Now that i have a kid i am so much more invested and I am EXTREMELY disappointed that so many selfish idiots ran and won seats on the school board. i hope we can get rid of them as soon as possible before they ruin my school system. Idiots.”
