North Carolina Republicans Don't Need No Stinkin' Accrediting Agency
The Koch heads in the North Carolina Legislature are pushing on with their plan to strip AdvanceED of its accrediting powers in the state of North Carolina. Why?

So Teabagger sponsors, Blackwell and Holloway, along with co-sponsors, Avila; Cook; Dollar; and Stam, have offered this legislative masterpiece, Edition 1 [HTML], of John Birch Society problem-solving, and so we must wait to see if the North Carolina will be dragged further back into the Jim Crow era by the social antiquarians who now control government in NC.
