A clique of political and bureaucratic insiders came up with this plan without proper study, as has too often been the case with our schools. Our school needs should have been both studied by experts and also been submitted to public input. None of that was done. Management in our schools, and also in county government is a bad joke. Politicans and bureaucrats too often seek self-glorification, whether it is Langley with his jail or Cheeseman with his resume-driven school project.

As usual, our pathetic school board majority did little more than sit there as rubberstamps for whatever Boss Cheeseman dictated. We badly need a change on that board.

Here is what DEI does - half of the graduates of UCLA Medical School can't pass the medical licensing exams. I guess there will be pressure to have those exams dumbed down, too. Medicine is one area we need the best and the brightest, not those who meet a quota.

If it is not in Little Bobbie's far left talking points, his tunnel vision tells him it is not true. The word "true" to Bobbie means "consistent with the far left narrative"

Commissioner Hood Richardson wrote an informative and complete analysis on how to govern Beaufort County in a wise and conservative manner, which is what he has always held himself out to be - a Conservative - no more, no less, always consistently so.

Alternately, the liberal commentator "Firebrand," on this thread, is not smart enough to speak to the wide range of issues that Commissioner Richardson succinctly expressed; but instead "Firebrand" chose only to attack the wisdom of the 7 term conservative Republican Commissioner as Mr. Richardson is a bad man. Additionally, "Firebrand" (which I have just discovered) is not only a contextual idiot in the real terms of their effort as announced, but a fake entity with a fake email sneaking onto this platform, slipping through the monitored wall here on encnow.com , in comment form, and will not be allowed back to this august publication.

However, I will leave "Firebrand's" sophistic recently expressed comment up as a relative point, contextually, and as the juxtaposed foil to Commissioner Richardson's well informative words of governing wisdom.

I have never heard such hogwash in my life. Hood is just grandstanding cause of the upcoming election. The meetings are open to the public. Time for the voters of Beaufort County to realize he doesn’t care about you. Hood is the reason businesses don’t want to move to our County. Time for Hood to retire and let someone who cares about Beaufort County take over.

None of that is true. Not one person has been silenced. Many don't agree with you, but that's not the same thing. You're not victims.

Don't quote Dr. King. We shot him too.

Those with a felony conviction and other criminals are not likely to be getting a gun from a family member or neighbor. They are going to other criminals like at the open air drug markets. This rule is targeted at John Q. Public who gives a gun to a family member or sells one to a friend, but is not a gun dealer.

Gun dealers are well educated on how this law works and how to comply. John Q. Public may not even know they are covered, and even if they know that, they probably do know know how to comply. This rule is designed to trip up law abiding citizens and will not have any effect on criminals having guns.

Most importantly, in a democracy, it is the legislative branch, NOT the executive branch that makes the law. This is another example of the anti-democracy nature of the Biden regime.

Every bit of it is true, BullSh!t Bob. The quotes and clips are right there in the links.

The left in the US is pushing this "hate speech" censorship, too, and one of the big targets where this censorship has taken root is suppressing any criticism of illegal immigration. There have been members of the European parliament from Italy, Belgium, and Romania investigated for "hate speech".
