Not bad answers Stacey but I would ask clarification on question 2:

One cannot teach in a vacuum. Not all learning is just about "facts". Example: Its a fact that there was a US civil war. I would venture that fact might be the only thing the folks in BC would agree on. With respect to the war. It happened. Everything else, we argue about.

Beyond facts, kids need to learn critical thinking skills. How do we go about that?


CV think back to HS. Were you calling kids fag, or, were other kids calling you a fag?

Morrow certainly gets it on DEI, which she says really stands for "Discrimination, Exclusion, and Indoctrination." That is even better than the son of John Lennon of the Beatles saying DEI stands for "Dumb Evil Idiots"

Most of the claims of the climate alarmists can be debunked. In fact, the Climategate emails show that their claims are manipulated and bogus and they know it.

Truitt has been a big disappointment. Morrow sounds great, and hopefully will govern as she campaigns. The problem she is going to have is dealing with a state board of education stacked with far left appointees of Roy Cooper serving 8 year terms. Hopefully she will display the backbone Truitt has lacked in dealing with them.

Bullying is a problem that has been there for ages, and usually has not a darn thing to do with homosexuality. It is when persons who are physically strong but mentally or emotionally insecure prey on the weak. A homosexual could be on either side of that equation. Bullying is wrong regardless of who the bully is or who the victim is, and it should be stopped.

Because Bob the “mask” is an attack on everything this country was founded on. We know all men are created equal in the image of God. Who is God, but the fountain of life and waters of healing. Do we think, we, being made in the image of God, should be afraid of a microscopic germ? There has been sickness and death since the beginning.

“Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

To say you are “looking out for others” by wearing a mask, is a bit of a reach. As it is nowhere in the constitution that any man has the right to be safe. Safety, like happiness is a frame of mind, and not something that men or government can grant an individual.

For example, some may say that tyranny, oppression, and martial law would make them feel safe, but to me, I would feel less safe.

Big Bob, Hi!

Thank you so much for reaching out with some really great questions.

The Bible has had the greatest impact on my life. It is the most copied book of antiquity. It has been translated into every language with surprising associations between culture that uses love and tolerance to bring people together. No matter my hardship, celebration or curiosity, there is a verse to be found that brings me growth with comfort. My favorite verse is Matthew 5:9. Check it out!

"A" family's belief system includes the values that members ascribe to and are reinforced "within the family". The goal of a "forced agenda" is to create stereotypes which can lead to oppression b/c students are being forced to accept "opinions", values, and actions while theirs's being disregarded. Let us respect our educators enough to not put them in that position. The teacher's job is hard enough with all the developmental issues we have created for them. Allow them to focus on academics for testing and giving a child an environment for conducive learning. Forced agendas in schools should not be tolerated. Their developing minds have enough to process. Children are not nourished the same as before. Most of our youth do not have the benefits of a nuclear family. Children are overstimulated and it is affecting our teacher's progress providing them very little support in the classroom. For children to stay focused on the results the educator needs for that child to retain the wealth of knowledge from their class curriculum used in testing. Since 1868, our nation has moved in a prosperous direction with civil rights. American Rights should not be treated as 'Opportunity Rights.' Seeing as public schools are the only opportunity most children have to succeed in life, not one valuable moment should be wasted on opinions and belief, but strictly remain truthful in data- driven factual information.

LBGT kids are the same as any other kid. It is not fair for a LBGT kid to be treated any differently than a straight kid. (I like the word child, but we will use 'kid' in re: to your questions) Intimate details of a child's sexual orientation should be treated as private and respected by all. As far as bullying, the policy is NO TOLERENCE. Every single child in Beaufort County Schools or any other school for that matter deserves dignity and to be treated equally whatever the sex, race or age.

Truth is hard to stop. the white fairy tail is no longer the an exclusive option

W- will never understand how masks could generate such a reaction considering the newness of the pandemic. Its just such a nothing burger. Sure nobody liked it but it just seemed like common sense. Like saying please , or thank you. Looking out for one another. Costs nothing.

Will Simmons: Yeah, I just heard that one of the employees of the Washington Daily News was giving lip service, via Facebook video (another bastion of "uncensored truth"), to charge that Eastern NC NOW was "bias", which could, by comparison the WDN, be of some merit since this online publication, unlike the WDN, is certainly biased towards publishing real news and lots of it, including valid dissenting opinions against politicians, providing they are submitted by real people.
