Teachers from across North Carolina turned out in force to greet the General Assembly as it returned to Raleigh yesterday. News reports and photos posted on social media show thousands of educators dressed in red as they marched through the rain-soaked streets of the state capital, with crowd estimates ranging from 19,000 to 30,000, according to The Charlotte Observer. The daily newspaper notes it was the largest act of organized teacher political action in state history.
