East Iredell Middle School “Constitution Day”

Recently, I volunteered via a program that Iredell County’s School Board Member, Mike Kubiniec, had set up for local citizens to help our area schools. (Iredell Standing for Truth’s article) In North Carolina, every September 17th is set aside as “Constitution Day” to help students understand WHY an over 200 year old framing document (the U.S. Constitution) is still so vital to our freedoms. Not only should we be teaching, daily, how important our U.S. Constitution is, but how important our N.C. Constitution is.

Chairman Bill Howell's dictatorial approach to school board leadership has polarized the members of the board and subjected the entire board to public humiliation and criticism.
