Van Zant - The seating arrangement of the BC School Board has also always struck me as very odd. It is not only totally different from other local government bodies, but also from the state boards and commissions I used to work with. When I served as a departmental General Counsel in the Jim Martin administration, one of my responsibilities was to monitor the rulemaking boards and commissions housed under our department such as the NC Social Services Commission, NC Child Daycare Commission, and NC Mental Health Commission for the cabinet secretary who administered the department. Those sommissions were staffed by top officials of the division or section handling the appropriate policy area. Staff, including division directors or section chiefs were not seated with the commission itself, but down the side, much like many of our local governments. Seating paid staff among board or commission members is just strange.

Js-on the cover page of the BO it advertises “ Keep MAGA Alive….”
Stan runs the BO. 95% of the posters support DT and the MAGA agenda.

It’s really not that hard to figure out.

Even the inventor of the 1619 Project has admitted it is NOT real history. Only total boneheads like Bigot Bob think it is. And like his usual racist stance he wants to make everything about race. Bigot Bob is our local Al Sharpton.

Stan, he throws around those terms "MAGA" and "weird" because that's what his far left talking points instruct him to do.

Little Bobbie displays yet again how utterly ignorant he is. All public bodies have seating charts, whether it is congress, state legislature, county commission, school board, or whatever. Sometimes the bodies vote on them, but more often they are assigned by the presiding officer.

What is really weird about the Beaufort County School Board is that they seat their top bureaucrat up with the elected members, so Cheeseman can be the big cheese and whisper in board chairman T.W. Allen's ear, telling him what to do. You don't see the county manager sitting up their with the elected members of the county commission or the city manager sitting up there with the elected Washington City Council. Cheeseman thinks he is really special, and our rubber stamp school board majority seems to think so, too.

Will, what you linked to was the second draft by conservative school board members, not the final Cheeseman draft. The final Cheeseman draft took OUT those things you mentioned.

We need to vote on where to sit? Just proves what I’ve been saying. MAGA- they can’t govern

Let’s see, so HR is quick to point out democrats were the party of the KKK and the likes, and he was a democrat?

Just proves what I’ve been saying. After 1964, the racist democrats left the party and took over the Republican Party. And MAGA was born

Good news is, it appears from the recent revisions made to the curriculum development policy, any new curriculum must require lessons in cursive and further instruction in the memorization of multiplication tables.

Strange news is, the rewording of the policy seemingly to alleviate accountability regarding the curriculum choosing process.

I agree with the curriculum team that sounds fine but in my opinion all school board members should be active members of this team participating in the process. They are the ones accountable to the voter not teachers or parents. I understand they will vote at the end of the process whether to approve the curriculum or veto it but I feel like they should all take a hands on approach. It is what they were elected to do .

Neither of us is in Texas to know where the dragnet is among neighborhoods, but given the Democrat party scheme of registering illegal aliens to cheat in the 2024 election, I strongly suspect that some white liberal Democrat activists are probably getting some knocks on their doors accompanied by subpoenas.

The AG has announced that they will be picking up those who register illegally, and I doubt many of those will be in black or white neighborhoods. However, the most important people to be arrested are those behind the scheme, and I suspect most of those will be in liberal upscale white neighborhoods. Of course, it is important to arrest those who have illegally registered so they can roll over on those who registered them. Those who run the scheme to register illegal aliens to vote are attacking democracy and they need very long prison sentences.
