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?

From Judicial Watch:
The public would do well remember that the Justice Department was dragged kicking and screaming into this prosecution of Hunter. Judicial Watch’s successful Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation, exposing federal special protection and the cover-up of Hunter Biden’s gun scandal, shows how this case could have been brought years ago. www.judicialwatch.org

Bobbie, those bizarre rants show you really do need to see a mental health professional.
