Thom Tillis, the Republican challenger to North Carolina Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan, has found himself in the sights of the country's largest teachers union. The National Education Association Advocacy Fund, the Super PAC for a national union with over 3 million members, has made a $1.7 million ad buy in the state of North Carolina, with the goal of tearing apart Tillis on the issue of education. The ad features Chapel Hill High School teacher Vivian Connell, who accuses Tillis, currently the speaker of the state house, of spearheading $500 million in budget cuts that have compelled students to cram into overcrowded classrooms and to share textbooks with one another. "I always want my students to start with facts, and the fact is that Thom Tillis is terrible for education in North Carolina," Connell says in the ad.

With the school year already begun, students may already have chosen alternative schools to make up for financial aid they did not receive, while others may have failed to start school entirely.
