This Supreme Court Ruling is part of the beginning of delegitimizing Planned Parenthood as an Abortion-Mill-Feel-Good-Story for Leftists, and could also eventually be a component in ending the corrupt exchange of the Public's money from congress; to Planned Parenthood; and back into the pockets of Democratic Socialist politicians; a purely fraudulent exercise.

Commented on Let's Get It Right!John Steed: It could be an option for the soon-to-be-former Eastern Elementary as well.
Let us face it People: You paid for these Schools! You deserve the very best education these schools can provide! John: This is an issue completely up to the county commissioners ... To provide for the People.

Maybe Florida could loan some of those alligators to Texas for the Rio Grande river. In spite of crooked Democrat judges, traitorous Democrat mayors and governors, and similar support given to the foreign invaders, President Trump is winning the battle to beat back this foreign invasion.

Commented on Let's Get It Right!Stan, when Martin County Schools closed the community public school in Bear Grass, that is exactly what was done with the building. It is now a thriving charter school, and the Bear Grass community continues to have a local school. Charter schools and private schools tend to provide better education at a lower cost per student than public schools, so that is beneficial in a lot of ways. I wonder if anyone in Aurora would pick up the ball and run with it? That might be an option for John Cotton Tayloe as well.

Commented on Let's Get It Right!Concerned Taxpayer | Van Zant: This is the problem with the School Board here in Beaufort County: They do not think important issues through, not in the least bit, which leaves this current board in a constant state of bewilderment when it comes to most decisions, especially when it concerns "thinking outside of the box."
When I spoke to the crowd at S.W. Snowden, and the school board members who were mixed within the crowd in a rather inconspicuous manner, I stressed in an off-the-cuff manner of a rather off-the-cuff idea (one which I came up with , right on the spot) of the county buying back (at market value) Snowden and marketing to those who would develop a charter school or a private school right there in Aurora. Since coming up with that idea of what to do with all surplus school buildings here in Beaufort County - there will be two more surplus buildings here in the City of Washington soon - I would argue that we take my plan for S.W. Snowden to entice competitive education resources to consider at all surplussed public school buildings, here in beaufort County, for the development of a charter school or a private school right there in all of Beaufort County.

Commented on Let's Get It Right!How much does Beaufort County Schools lose in state funding for every child they run off to charter schools, private schools, or schools in another county? I suspect those numbers can add up quickly. I suspect that there will be a racial / class disparity from this unwise action by the school board. The little children suffering the child abuse of these long bus rides every morning and evening will be the poor black children, while most of the rest of the students from Snowden head to charter or public school in Pamlico County. The main difference will be which families can arrange their own transportation to schools in Pamlico County.

Commented on Let's Get It Right!It's also being reported that a significant amount of BC students will be going to the Charter School in Arapahoe - even more than before. It remains to be seen how many BC parents will choose to go to public school in Bayboro. I know several that are thinking in that direction.

Commented on Let's Get It Right!Putting those young children on those long bus rides is child abuse that will hurt their education. I am appalled at those on the school board who ordered that. I also hear that Pamlico County schools have opened their arms to students from Snowden, and I suspect that is where many of the middle class students from Snowden will end up, taking their state funding with them.

Commented on Let's Get It Right!It was reported that many of the families with students in Snowden are looking forward to the new arrangements after the closure. I’m sure it is not ideal for them but they seem positive about it.
On a side the note: The Top Lie of the Decade: “Our milkshake machine is down at the moment” I mean give me a break, if they ain’t gonna make it, just take it off the menu already!

Commented on Tillis will not seek re-election in 2026"Pragmatist"???? NO< Tillis is a liberal, an Undocumented Democrat. He has sold us out on a long list of major issues from gun control to the Green New Deal, to homosexual marriage to deficit spending to illegal immigration to Obamacare Medicaid expansion to allowing men into womens restrooms and lockerrooms, and the list could go on. Recent polls have had his favorability with voters under 30%. Tillis was unelectable and would have hurt the entire GOP ticket in North Carolina. Last year's Republican state convention passed a resolution of censure on Tillis by a landslide for deviating from the Republican platform on a very wide range of issues. Good riddance!

Commented on Let's Get It Right!Conservative Voter: The thing about being elected is that one never knows what will occur, i.e., the Covid epidemic, and the resultant insanity on how it was mishandled by elected officials.
At some point there is a high water mark that results in an impasse, where politicians or the public rebel and move in one assertive direction or another. Then there is yet another avenue ... Elect smart, experienced Good citizens that question bureaucratic orthodoxy, not because that orthodoxy is in their way, but because some folks are better at figuring stuff out than others, the smarter electorate elected those smarter politicians, and not the other way around, and everyone wins. And then there is my tried and true adage that I believe in to my core: Good governing is NOT rocket science.

Commented on Let's Get It Right!THere have been rumblings of the Cheeseman machine running someone against Shreve. Maybe he is trying to protect his left flank from them, but if so, he has exposed his right flank in the process. To be fair, there was not a lot of discussion of school consolidation in the 2022 school board election so no candidates seemed to really be grilled on that. In retrospect, campaign groups probably should have hit that issue, but the big issue has been curriculum. I would hope that Don Shreve at least sticks to his political principles and pledges on those issues. DEI Cheeseman promotes the woke and our students do not need that.

Commented on Let's Get It Right!Shreve, you deserve an Academy Award for your performance in this California Cuckshow.
Maybe, at some point in the near future, you'll join Ché (Cheeseman) and his young dukebuddy prospect as they announce their sacrifice to Moloch? Y'all can't keep this up but for so long. The wheels are coming off and you know it.

Commented on Let's Get It Right!In a county, where local governments are pathetically weak, this post by Donald Shreve and the ensuing comment by Board Member Terry Williams, plainly signifies that the Beaufort County School Board may be the weakest link of them all, and that includes the pathetic city government of Washington.

Commented on Let's Get It Right!Don, may I respectfully ask: Are there more school age students residing in Richland Township then are enrolled at Aurora, and if so where are those "extra" students enrolled and why? I note that you also do not address the bus rides this decision to close Snowden will impose on young students and what impact that will have on retaining what few students are left in BCS in that area. Finally, why has the BCS staff not worked with Nutrien to make the local school(s) more attractive to potential employees as well as their duty to contribute to community development rather than exclusively to the short-run benefit of the company? Nutrien could/should help development in southeastern Beaufort County. Do you not agree? If so, what has BCS done in partnering with them doing that? And if not, why not? How much has Cheeseman worked with Nutrien? What has BCS done is simply foster non-public school development in Richland Township. Bath should beware of the same thing happening on the north side of the river in the future. Nutrien owns alot of land near you.

Commented on Let's Get It Right!We don't live in Richland Township or Aurora, but it is not at all hard to see that what was done to their school was just plain wrong. It could happen to any of our schools with this superintendent and school board. The people of Beaufort County, all parts, deserve better. Maybe school board members should start representing the people instead of sucking up to the superintendant.
