Some typical comments from the Carteret County Concerned Citizens for Education FaceBook page:

Hitler convinced a country to murder 10 million innocent people. We can save 10 million childrens minds-your one voice can make a difference. Please let us hear you…

Tea partiers seem keen to cut anything without regard to the needs of our community. It is not ‘pushing for more and more spending’ (their sentiment) when we resolve to continue support for public education. The economic security of our children depends on the preparedness we provide them today. It is our responsibility. One generation does this for the next to insure the continuity of society. The same as was done for us, we must do for our collective future. Cutting the school budget and reducing the quality of their education is truly balancing the books on the backs of our children.

It seems some of the folks in this group have trouble figuring out that ‘spending more money’ does not necessarily equal ‘better education.’ And at least one of them is extremely lacking in knowledge about World War II.
