North Carolina legislators continue to look the other way as state government continues to provide free administrative services to a private entity, even when the organization fails to comply with state law. That’s the case with the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE). The state continues to withdraw employee professional dues for over 7,300 NCAE members and have the money placed in NCAE accounts. General Statutes 143B-426A(g) declares that such services should only be provided for organizations whose members total 40,000 or more, and then only after membership has been certified by the State Auditor.
Last year the State Auditor could not certify the numbers because NCAE refused to provide membership information. Earlier today the State Auditor released this year’s report saying – again — that their office was unable to verify membership count since NCAE refused to provide membership numbers.
Why does the Legislature ignore those who flaunt their disobedience of the law? Furthermore, what compelling reason is there why the state should provide administrative services to private organizations? In this case, the actions clearly constitute an illegal benefit to an organization whose mission is to advocate for the interests of educators and staff – and not the interests of students or the people of North Carolina.

Let’s cut to the chase … Mr. Luebke, you have no interest in the General Statutue. You simply dislike the NCAE. Stop hiding behind the statutue, it is dishonest and unprincipled.

Let’s cut to the chase … George, you have no interest in that (or any other) General Statute that might hinder the goals of progressive organizations. You simply like the NCAE and think that any progressive organization should be above the law because the end justifies the means. Stop hiding behind supposed indignation that it is a conservative pointing out the fact that a progressive organization is breaking the law; it is dishonest and unprincipled.

It’s hard to believe NCAE advocates for children and educators when they treat their own staff like crap. And furthermore, why would they bring in Johnson after a lawsuit was brought against her in Ohio for racial discrimination. There have also been several grievances filed against her for the same thing while in North Carolina.

Victory is achieved when the opponent is knocked down and unable to get out of bed before the referee counts to ten (a Knockout, or KO) or when the opponent is deemed too injured to carry on (a Technical Knockout, or TKO).
