Commented on School Board seeks to hide behind teachers and staff

That fund raising letter put the blame where it belongs, on the elected policy makers, the School Board, and on their top bureaucrat, the grossly overpaid Matthew Cheeseman, not on teachers. It is the establishment school board members who have tried to shuck the blame onto the teachers. While we are talking about teachers, Cheeseman is also a problem there, as we have had an exodus of teachers out of Beaufort County under the Cheeseman regime.

Stan
Again you are on cloud that is not here. After all the resolutions you propose. Have you read the resolution? No where does it say anything about the letter. I heard it but you and Hood where sleeping I guess

Hey, NOT RAY LEARY, how do you contend that being led around by the nose by Cheeseman is "thinking on their own"??????? The Bridges math curriculum they passed is woke as well as being Common Core. It even calls for discussing "social justice" in math class!

Firebrand (Jodie) you have a bad case of Hood Derangement Syndrome, an affliction similar to Trump Derangement Syndrome. We need to look at issues in the school board race, but if we have to look at individuals, the one we need to look at is Cheeseman, who is a control freak, and controls the school board majority. You can watch him up there at the table signalling them what to do. Those six seem to think Cheeseman is their boss instead of their employee.

Think about this. Firebrand said that an election campaign letter is election interference. Fidel Castro would be proud of you Firebrand. That kind of thinking is how Saddam Hussein used to get 99 percent of the vote.

Big Bob, The PAC are not Conservative Republicans. They are a rogue group headed by the Sleeper. There is only one Republican Party. A PAC is not a party. They are a hate group.

I cannot truly imagine the Beaufort County Commissioners signing on to a resolution that I write angrily denouncing some political group, like the current Beaufort County GOP telling visitors to the local GOP headquarters, during a recent election cycle: "Do NOT vote for Stan Deatherage's re-election because he is a RINO," even though this self-projection of their misidentified ideals did seriously offend my constituents.

There is the political reality that there will also be political detractors, just like the local Beaufort County GOP projecting their Nominal Republican ideals upon my candidacy since I see Conservative governing far differently than they do, and, consequently, there will always be just one path to deal with these political groups of a far different mindset; you deal with it outside of the governing process, and you KEEP your elected charge to serve your constituents, when representing the public, completely out of it.

Otherwise, there could be the issue of provable governmental malfeasance, which often is a staple of some low minded, low character politicians; poorly informed, and potentially liable for their bad judgement when supposedly doing the People's business.

Politics is political, but true governing is the business of the People, and that is every elected officials' only concern.

Rino Hunter (ray Leary) left wing board members wow. They think on their own and not from your group. They are far from left find the CRT, find WOKE you can’t find it but let’s continue beat the drum that it is in the schools. #paciscalledout #keepsendingyourthree orders. I bet if you told them to go sit on the park bench and stare into space they will have to ask what one sir!!

Firebrand is clueless. We have a leftwing superintendant who condones a lot of wokeness and 6 school board members who are his puppets. The new members are the only ones fighting against wokeness in our school system. Those three are representatives of the conservative trend that is sweeping school board elections around the country. THe other six represent the old "go alond / get along" education establishment that is failing our children.

Commented on Beaufort County Republican Party steps in another Cow Pile

I'm really trying to understand why the local party thinks they can take away someone's ex officio membership. I've looked at some of the rules people keep referring to and still do not see it. So, I requested some help from someone with experience as a district chairman and service on several state Republican committees.

First off, he said that according to the state plan of organization, under Administrative procedure, "When an ex officio member of a Committee ceases to hold the office that ENTITLES him to such membership, his membership terminates automatically."

So, we then looked at the county plan of organization. It stated, "Elected officials SHALL be ex officio members of the Beaufort CEC [County Executive Committee], with rights to be recognized to speak or debate but not to vote."

I then asked him about the Forfeiture of Official Privileges section of the county plan of organization where it states, "Any current or former officer or Member of a Precinct Committee or County Executive Committee who, for any reason, is removed or resigned from said position shall forfeit all rights and privileges in any way connected with that position." I asked would that apply in any way in this particular situation? On that he said, an ex officio member SHALL be there because of his elected office. He has the right to exorcise that right or not. That's his or her choice.

Putting all this together with the actual minutes of the Beaufort County Executive Committee meeting, where the Commissioner only resigned his voting at large position anyway, makes it look bad for the local committee. They are clearly abusing their power and going to extreme lengths to drive conservatives out of the party.

Great job Not Ray Leary, The three new school board members are part of the non Conservative group the PAC. They get their marching orders from them before each meeting. They also have been seen at fast food restaurants prior to meetings. How much information are they revealing to the hate group. The letter itself was election interference not the resolution.

I was at the meeting as a parent the other night. Below is what I observed from the meeting you did not state in the article above.

1. I watched you deliver the talks to 3 board members. I guess when you sign a contract with the PAC you have to vote and say what they tell you and write for you. Donald and Charles even held the paper up and read it word for word. I watched this from the audience.

2. In the resolution nowhere does it discuss the PAC that you are a part of that I heard. this supports the staff of the of the school system. i guess your PAC could not find a way to dig your 3 out so they had to vote no.

3. The last thing I will say is the good Lord gave us minds to think on our own and not be puppets to any PAC. The faster the people see that the faster we will get out of the racist ways you and others are pushing through the county.

Donald Trump has already pledged to be the deporter in chief after he is re-elected. Ron deSantis would also be solid on this issue. Nikki Haley, however, is little better than a Democrat on illegal immigration.
