For 300 years white people were treated different. DEi just teaches people to be aware of resulting bias and allow for others to share in the American promise.

It’s that simple.

It sounds to me that what they need is a new lawyer.

Big Bob got his flue shot a month ago and his Covid shot yesterday.

Stay safe out there.

Both Gaetz and Bondi are way better picks than Merrick Garland. It's hard to imagine getting worse than Garland.

If I remember correctly, didn't Thom Tillis vote to ratify Garland. It will be interesting to see how the Repub Thune goons approach the Trump nominations.

It seems to me that it would be efficient and cost effective for the school board to maintain a list of the email addresses of those who want to receive notices and full agendas, and then someone at the central office could hit a button, say a week before the meeting, to send notices to those people.

DEI is a collectivist notion by the far left that insists on treating people as members of groups instead of as individuals and prioritizes some groups over others. It is entirely Marxist and racist.

The sad thing is the Beaufort County Community College is eaten up with it and our commisioners will not jerk their chain.

The globalists project a horror of "greenhouse gases", but without the Greenhouse Effect produced by greenhouse gases, the Earth would be a cold dead planet unable to support life. It is the Greenhouse Effect that gives the Earth a moderate climate capable of sustaining life.

Then they target CO2, a relatively minor greenhouse gas. The most important greenhouse gas, by far, is water vapor, which is responsible for over 90% of the Greenhouse Effect.

What causes a change in the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere? That would be solar radiation. If one compares recent cold and warm cycles on Earth, they correspond exactly to cycles of solar activity. Thus the particularly cold cycle known as the Little Ice Age that ended in the 19th century corresponds exactly to the Maunder Minimum, a period of very low solar activity. When solar activity picked up, so did temperatures on Earth.

The climate alarmists drive the profits of the Climate Industrial Complex, but their Chicken Little on steroids antics are detrimental to the average citizen.

When I served in the Jim Martin administration as General Counsel of what is now the Department of Health and Human services (it had a different name then), we had a number of policy making commissions housed under our department like the NC Social Services Commission, NC CHild Day Care Commission, and NC Mental Health Commission. All of those commissions gave a full and timely notice of their meetings. Indeed each had a list of people who requested copies of meeting notices and agendas by mail, and those were provided. For any public body transparency is important, and notices are often also required by law.

Considering how clueless most of you are about DEI, it’s not surprising many have strong feelings. Hard to appreciate something you don’t know anything about.

Do parents & grandparents ever speak w/ their children abt why they are in school? Or abt th PURPOSE as it pertains, directly to the future wellbeing of your child? Does he/she know that there is a "future" and how well they are prepared for it, will affect their comfort in life?
Does your child understand why the daily assignment is important to learning well? Does he/she understand that each daily lesson is a foundation for the next daily lesson, and w/out the first, the second will be lost?
Dont just think because u told your child something, that they've gotten it. Repetition, repetition, repetition is how they learn.
Dont just take your child's grade A for granted. Reward them!
But also in today's environment, dont for a moment believe that an A+ grade means they did A work. Dumbing down is where we are at now.
Lead by example. They are watching u constantly!
If u love your child, never use them as a weapon against your spouse, with which u have a love/hate relationship.
