What do the Wake school board elections, Maine's repeal of the same-sex marriage law and the election of Republican governors in Virginia and New Jersey all have in common?
According to state Rep. Paul Stam, they're a sign "voters are squarely focused on core issues affecting their family and their future more than at any time in recent history." The Apex Republican and House Minority Leader linked all these election happenings in the latest blog post on his web site.
"The clean sweep of four seats for the Wake County Board of Education was a resounding demand for a school system that is responsive to families and fiscally accountable to taxpayers," Stam wrote. "Parents will no longer tolerate school board policies that disrupt children’s lives by arbitrary assignments and mandatory school calendars. They reject policies that fail to ensure students succeed in the name of diversity."
Stam had donated money to newly elected school board members Debra Goldman and John Tedesco.
