Democratic Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton's campaign launched a group to reach out to educators in the race for governor. It's called Educators for Dalton.
Former NCAE President Sheri Strickland is its chairwoman, and founders include the current NCAE president and vice president.
Former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory is the Republican candidate.
“Walter Dalton created the state's early college system, led efforts to decrease classroom sizes, and worked to give teachers the largest pay raise in a generation,” Strickland said in a statement. “Walter has stood up for our children and teachers, and it’s time we stand up for him.”
Correction: Dalton's campaign started the group.

Which came first?

Why didn't the NCAE cross the road? Because they only have but one side.

Wrong headline?
July 25, 2012 - 2:09pm — bestsarahThe headline reads: NCAE leaders line up behind Dalton.
Shouldn't it read: NCAE leaders fall in line behind Dalton just as they have done since time began.
Doesn't being a member of the NCAE mean that you agree to fall in line with the Democratic Party?
