I will not believe restitution has been made until the School Board announces it and notations have been made in the Board meeting minutes. Until then it is just bull.

That is indeed a great slogan for the winning party, but the rejection of the climate alarmist agenda in that election went much deeper than that. Having looked at all of the results, voters all over the spectrum - traditional right, populist right, and even left rejected climate alarmist policy. The populist right ANO which came in first did directly reject "green madness" as well as illegal immigratoin in its very campaign slogan. The second placed party, the governing traditional conservative Civic Democrats, had a leader in its sitting prime minister who has been very vocal against the EU Green Deal and illegal immigation. In third place was a new populist right party even more strongly opposed to both the climate alarmist agenda and illegal immigration, Prisha a Motoriste, led by a retired race car driver who vowed to arrive at his first session of the EU parliament "in a car with a large carbon footprint". While the Green Party and the center left Social Democrats got smoked, the only energy on the left was in the fourth placed party, a new coalition called Enough! that also campaigned against climate alarmism and illegal immigration. Also grabbing one of the Czech Republic's 21 seats was the Freedom and Direct Democracy Party which not only strongly opposed illegal immigation and EU green policies but also called for a referendum of Czech voters on leaving the EU entirely. All in all, a pretty solid rejection of climate alarmism.

First off Stan the school may cost 52 million but 42 million is coming from lottery money. Also as per FERPA laws even children over 16 are minors until they graduate. The police did not want to get involved because yes the students were stupid but most of them left when the few decided to get crazy. Restitution is being made for damages and most of the kids have offered to volunteer their time. Punishment has been given. My thoughts( I know you don’t like outside thoughts on here unless they agree with you) however my thoughts are hopefully they have learned their lessons and they or future seniors will realize it was wrong. I’m sure most of you have done stupid things in your life. Leave it to the authorities.

Not to gang up on the incredibly unenlightened "Prendiegirl," but the cost of the unneeded school at the lowest placement of that entire property, has always been estimated around 52 million dollars, 383.00 per square foot, providing that there are NO cost over-runs ... yeah, and when has that ever happened?

There must be another set of facts making their rounds amongst Beaufort County's lower echelon of those who traditionally do not think too much about what is real.

Good catch, Country Girl. This is huge. A federal judge has shot down Biden's Title IX rewrite, where he imposed bureaucratic rules that stood Title IX as passed by Congress in 1972 on its head. Biden tried to delete the protection of women and girls and replace it with protection of "gender identity" and "sexual orientation". That is the opposite of what Congress passed.

Attorney General Paxton did a great job in shooting this monstrosity down. While this will help the other 25 states suing Biden over this travesty, the order does not seem to explicitely apply to them. With our radical left state AG Josh Stein, NC is not one of the states suing to overturn this harebrained rule.

Obama and Biden have also politicized the command structure of our military. Obama prematurely retired a lot of traditional generals and admirals and promoted "woke" replacements. Trump did little to change that trajectory. Biden continued promoting the woke and went father by putting DEI officers, much like the "political oficers" of the old Soviet army all through the military. The new Trump team after the election needs to get warfighters insread of woke soy boys back in control of the command structure.

FERPA would prevent the school system from releasing the names of the perps to the media. It would NOT prevent the school system from making a police report and charging them for the crimes they committed. That should be enough leverage to motivate the perps or their families to make resitution for the damages done. Sweeping this under the rug and making the taxpayers cover the damage is just unacceptable.

Prendiegirl, All of your facts are wrong.

We all love our children and grand children. Somebody's children do 100 percent of the criminal acts. I guess we forgive all criminal behavior because somebody's child did it. We should have learned our lesson from the "Its for the children" garbage the liberals worked so well for so long.

Prendiegirl, WITN stated, as of June 3, that 47 people have been identified in the vandalism. What the hell do FERPA laws have to do with this situation other than being used as a "bleeding heart" cop-out, exactly?

In the state of NC, you're an adult at 16. Best I can recall, most of the 47 identified are over 16 years old. If it were my child and he got caught doing stupid s***, as my granddaddy used to say:

"If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough."

Sorry, sometimes the the BO headlines are particularly stupid.

Why would JB want far right conservatives?
