While this incident shows some inappropriate actions by the member involved, it looks like the political firestorm has likely been contrived by the Cheeseman clique. The bus driver clearly would have reported this to his manager, how it got from there to those who have been bird dogging the incident is rather questionable. Undoubtedly it was a leak from within the school administration. Then there is the handing over of the videotape. Did the school board approve that or did Cheeseman just do it? If one of Cheeseman's political allies on the board had done it, that tape would still be under lock and key and would stay there. This is a pure political play to hurt that board member. She should have been smart enough not to leave herself open.

I think the member's actions were inappropriate, but she does not deserve the political hatchet job being done on her. She does seem to ask lots of pointed questions and I can see that getting under the skins of Cheeseman and his clique.

Understandable I had just seen a post about it and was curious. Good points were made by this member at the last meeting. A shame this occurred

Where is our leadership in NC. Huge plants and industry going to many states, including our neighbor SC, and zilch here in NC.

What happened with the school board member and the bus?

Better late than never, but where was Manchin when he sat in the Senate and did not dare challenge these lefties? He good have done some good if he had dared speak up back when he was in the Senate.

Washingtonian and SD: Here's where the Trump card comes in; follow me, here. "False Crime" CAN be used to prove a point. The Trump administration uses this strategy to their advantage but no one talks about it nor seems to pick up on it.

Technology and the use of it is far more advanced than the average person could even fathom. It's advanced but far from perfect. It has flaws that can be detected with eyes trained to see it. Again, the average John Q. Public will not see these flaws unless they are shown.

Washingtonian...the moon is plasma. There are no lizard people or secret Nazi bases on the moon.

Cannot say I am surprised, sickened yes but not surprised. Considering this is the same administration that targeted churches and parents raising concerns at school board meetings, no surprise. I am glad all this is being exposed. Sadly if there are not consequences nothing will change in the future.

SD: Honestly, I think this is ALL a test to see who buys what. This falls into the same category as "Ashli Babbitt".

I was at J6 and never heard nor saw anyone act as if they had witnessed someone getting shot. I never heard gunfire of any kind, through out the entire day, but yet people who weren't there are convinced, because the NEWS said so, someone was killed based off of footage THEY shared on social media.

Zarutska...same thing. You and I both know that if someone gets stabbed.....there's gonna be blood everywhere.

Not the case here, Chief.

Who wants to write a book on:
"How to create a Cabal in a small local Government."

I'll help.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Does anyone here know any mystery writers? "Who Done It" authors?
Speak UP!

It appears that we need an orientation program for elected officials. Especially the School Board and County Commission. Who is hired help, and who is running the asylum?

Randy Walker and Frankie Waters pretended to leave the Democrat Party but their "switch" to "Republican" was as phony as a three dollar bill. They are both still tax and spend Democrats and a menace to Beaufort County taxpayers. They are poseurs who need to be removed from office.

Power drunk bureaucrats like our county manager (and city manager) need to be fired.
