I don't blame Republicans really. All this money is spent on educating everyone while all Republicans are looking for is a few good men for the brain trust and all the funky discards are perfect for Grunts to fight the Plutocratic wars. It really would make me annoyed if all I cared about was mechanization and getting human beings out of the way.

...Several areas (click here) of educational spending are impacted by the state budget plans
being developed in Raleigh. Gov. Pat McCrory released his budget May 14,
on the opening day of the General Assembly. The N.C. Senate approved
its plan last weekend. The N.C. House is readying its budget proposal.
The Senate plan was addressed this week by both Dr. Diane Frost, superintendent of Asheboro City Schools, and Dr. Stephen Gainey, superintendent of the Randolph County School System.
Frost said the proposed funding cut of teacher/instructional assistants from second and third grades would result in a loss of 24 positions, leaving 24 assistants for K-1 classrooms at the five city elementaries. That’s in addition to the 10 slots eliminated for this year.
Gainey said Randolph currently has 156 regular education teacher assistants and is looking at a cut of $2.6 million in funding in this area. The reduction would fund 68 positions at 94 percent employment for K-1 classrooms at 17 elementaries.
Teacher assistants have been the focus of past state budget cuts. Last summer, the Randolph County Board of Education agreed to a 6 percent reduction in the salaries of these instructional support positions to keep from eliminating 38 assistants in order to address a $1.3 million cut....
...I have big concerns about the Senate budget. I have big concerns about the governor’s budget,” Gainey said Thursday. He added that some proposals could “impact our school system negatively, but I can promise we are going to have school at the highest possible level for kids.
