BBo is a perfect example of the result of the woke infestation introduced into our public education system. Is it even remotely possible that anyone could be a better example of severely retarded reading comprehension paired with fanatical Leftist ideology? I've already answered his question, and he seems utterly unaware. I did not differ with him about teaching both historical persons. He seems to have missed that and is oblivious as to why one lesson does not fit the context of the other by time periods and other factors of coherency. I see nothing racial in Mrs. Cayton's comment and everything racial in BBo's comment.

I have confidence that good history and civics teachers can do a fine job if they are allowed to do it and are provided with logical support instead of inconsistent and illogical direction.

It appears that some members of the School Board want to strike out in a positive direction concerning social studies curriculum choices. It also seems like the BCS upper staff has taken their toys and gone home in a huff after not getting their SAAVAS Social Studies Curriculum. I can see divisions on the Board. I wonder who the swing votes are. I also have severe doubts about BCS leadership following any directives of the Board that do not line up with what they want to do.

Bigot Bob is a race huster, Van Zant, a bush league Al Sharpton. Anything he can twist to try to make about race, even when it really isn't, he does.

VZ - I can always tell when I hit a nerve with you. You say my posts are about race. Read Noel's post. How is his post NOT about race? Dude, his whole post is about race. The whole thing.

Now read my response. I suggest teaching the stories of both women. That triggers you. Why?

I'm glad to have Dr. Creech's reports back on the Observer. I hope he will continue to keep us informed.

Macron had a French Senator charged with "hate speech" for posting online "immigration kills" after a particular brutal murder of a young French girl by an illegal alien. Macron is the new Petain. Macron has also had a man arrested who flipped the bird at his motorcade as it drove by and a woman who posted online that Macron was "a piece of filth".

Here we are at that awkward moment. Do we let the BBob ridiculousness hang there or do we say the obvious. OK, I'll do it.

Ms. Cayton was on subject when she mentioned teaching U.S History grounded in the founding of the country. That occurred in the 18th century with roots in the 17th century. BBo wants to muddle it up by concurrently teaching NAACP 19th and 20th century history. They are different time periods. Of course you teach both, just not at the same time.

I'll give BBob this, no matter what the subject it is always about race to him.

I hope our school board can stick to their guns and provide some clear direction. Recent Leftist political and education practices are confusing the heck out of our young people.

The cost of illegal aliens to our economy is enormous. They access welfare through anchor babies, something Trump is tryiing to do something about. Even though they are not supposed to get welfare, the Deep State has found all sorts of backdoor ways to give it to them. Many of the illegals are living in luxury hotels at taxpayer expense. Half of New York City's hotel rooms are occupied by illegal aliens according to their mayor. FEMA and VA funds have been diverted by Biden to illegal aliens. The cost to state and local taxpayers is also staggering. Just of cost of educating illegal alien children, who should not even be in the country is enormous, and all the free health care mooched by illegal aliens at our hospitals is driving up the cost of health care and health insurance for Americans, because the cost of that free health care is tacked onto the bills of paying patients.

Stan, it would be nice if the commissioners could demand a figure from the school board on what our county is paying to educate non-citizen children in Beaufort County Schools.

Actually, Florida passed some tough state legislation that caused many of the illegal aliens to leave the state. The left predicted it would hurt their economy, but a year later their economy was boomiing and they did not miss the illegals. All that really happened was what they had been shelling out for Emergency Medicaid for illegals dropped drastically.

It is NOT cheap labor if the taxpayers have to shell out to subsidize their freeloading interlopers.

JFK Jr said:
"My father told me when I was a little boy that people in authority lie and the job in a democracy is to remain skeptical. I've been science-based since I was a kid. Show me the evidence and I'll believe you, but I'm not going to take the word of official narratives."

"The way you do research is not by asking authoritative figures what they think. Trusting experts is not a feature of science, and it's not a feature of democracy. It's a feature of religion and totalitarianism."

Yep! people in authority lie! Never forget it!
A half-truth is also a lie!
