I can only speak as one individual member of the School Board. I pledge to never use an official School Board meeting as a campaign opportunity.

I cannot truly imagine the Beaufort County Commissioners signing on to a resolution that I write angrily denouncing some political group, like the current Beaufort County GOP telling visitors to the local GOP headquarters, during a recent election cycle: "Do NOT vote for Stan Deatherage's re-election because he is a RINO," even though this self-projection of their misidentified ideals did seriously offend my constituents.
There is the political reality that there will also be political detractors, just like the local Beaufort County GOP projecting their Nominal Republican ideals upon my candidacy since I understand Conservative governing far differently than they do, and, consequently, there will always be just one path to deal with these political groups of a far different mindset; you deal with it outside of the governing process, and you KEEP your elected charge to serve your constituents, when representing the public, completely out of it. Otherwise, there could be the issue of provable governmental malfeasance, which often is a staple of some low minded, low character politicians; poorly informed, and potentially liable for their bad judgement when supposedly doing the People's business. Politics is political, but true governing is the business of the People, and that is every elected officials' only concern.

Other than the few, the rest of the board seems incapable of understanding the issue is not whether or not the teachers are doing a good job.
Teachers should be empowered to become masters of their profession, and allowed to teach in the best way they see fit to yield the learning of the material. I’m sure all of our teachers truly care for the children and want them to learn. All of my schooling was done in this school system and all of my teachers were wonderful. The issue is with the programs and ideas that seem to need to be force fed because they are inedible by themselves. Through many words and much fluff they are disguised and washed down. If you ask a chef to make a filet mignon, but the only ingredients you supply him with are horsecrap and bread; then it’s going to take a lot of water to wash down the sandwich that is produced. This is like what we are doing to our great teachers. We must give them sound doctrine as a foundation to their teaching and allow their ingenuity to take the reins in their own classroom.
