Good riddance is right. We need to get rid of more establishment RINOs like Granger. Several more of the anti-Jordan cabal are drawing primary challengers, so hopefully we will see more of them go down.

Yes its election time. The time when we may exchange 1 swamp creature for diff 1. And yes, a GOP swamp creature might be an improvement over a Democrat, its still a swamp creature. The rot begins with the city manager who hires, fires the useful idiots ... & promotes the Mayor's favorite agendas so that he can be sure of keeping his job.

So, voters take this as a warning, you cant take your eye off the prize (truth), because the rot will continue with a diff face. Bobby has been on the council a long time, but did nothing to stop the corruption at the Housing Authority. Why not? He wont answer the phone to explain himself. Maybe if you are 1 of the martini sippers he answers the phone 4u, but not others.

I have personally heard Bobby say: I think a person should be able to do whatever he wants on his own land. As a conservative, at 1st I think yeah, me too. But then I realize, if 1 person is allowed 2 violate ordinances, then another citizens rights r being violated.

Big bob, no I didn't learn it from that perspective at all I learned both sides and we were allowed to make our own and draw our own conclusions we actually had debates in classe. we weren't spoon-fed how to think and what conclusions to draw. I did not attend schools in North Carolina but I can tell you when I went to school we had open and honest debates we were not indoctrinated we were not told we had to think a certain way we didn't have any of this race-based or gender Theory nonsense that's being taught now we were talking the facts and to draw our own conclusions we wrote papers that we had to back up with primary sources. I was in AP History and loved the open and honest discussions we used to have you can't have that today in most classrooms because everything is spoon-fed to students out of a textbook written usually from a very biased source.

Absolutely agreed; they are lying, corrupt premeditated criminals of the first order.

I agree that history should be taught as honestly as we know all the information available to do so.

An example of such: I agree that killing over a million buffalo to feed railroad workers, while starving the plains Indians was incredibly cruel and stupid on many fronts.

I agree that slavery was wrong, but that it was no more of a South issue than it was a North issue. The War Between the States could have NOT been fought, and slavery still ended by negotiations if all parties were realistic and fair.

That is the way I see the teaching of history, but I do not write the books.

Refocus. As I said we, meaning you and me, learned this bit of history in our schools, from our perspective. Can we agree, that the battle and the larger war between the two cultures, would be viewed and taught differently from a native perspective? I think it's fair to say, the Lakota would tell this story or history in a different way than the white man tells it. Agree?
My point is; that perspective, the native perspective, is Important. There is a lot to learn from that perspective. That perspective should be taught inn US history classes along with our perspective. Agree?

Your Board of County Commissioners is clueless about how school (your tax money) money is spent.
Two Commissioner's wives sit on the School Board. The RINOs and Democrats are in control. They allow the hired help to run things.

Citizens and tax payers neet ot wake up and payattention.

Speaking again of history, I was just afforded information that a poll suggests that 63% of all within the Millennial and GenZ generations believe that there was NO Holocaust of the 20th century, or were not aware of it. Many of the balance (37%) of those polled were unclear on the particulars of that atrocity.

Now, if it is parents fault or the fault of the Education Industry, or the abject stupidity of Social Media as currently present, is real positive change in order? Will you make that stand for positive change?

What is frightening, these two generations are the highest educated in American history, and many of them are not even smart enough to vote ... but vote they do.

Wait, could it be that Idiot President Biden really did win the election fair and square after all, and it is just that there are so many stupid, but highly educated Americans of voting age, that The Fool President was, without any hint of chicanery, truly elected to represent this "highly educated" class of our electorate?

The real truth: The Public Education Industry, and the public at large need to be tuned up right now, with all haste. "Time is of the essence" on this major issue of correcting the chronically dull, and it needs to start right NOW.

I stand fully for School Choice to destroy the monopolistic paradigm of Public Education Industry. Will you?

Good, so we agree. Only stuff that actually happened. Second fork in the road. Example. General Custer and the Battle at the Little big Horn. We know it well. Or do we? We know that in the battle, the US Army fought Native Americans. We know the outcome, General Custer got his a$$ kicked. It was one of the few battles that Native people won.
As white people living today, we learned this bit of history from our perspective. Even though we lost that one, students learn about it in the context of the US Army, or the white man. There is another side to the story. the native people's perspective. If you want to learn about what really happened on that battle field, you need both perspectives. The Native perspective may make you uncomfortable, but it is, as Stan likes to say, real. Unless you include it, you dont really know what happened. Agree?

Thanks Gary, and that is why we voted for you. You get what is real, and how far the status quo is removed from it; like a terrible plague, and far worse than the Covid pandemic and Democratic Socialist Election Scheme.

I’m going to regret this but here goes. High school US history. Can we agree that the the curriculum can include things that actually happened? That’s the first fork in the road. If we can’t agree on that there is no point is discussing further. Just stuff that happened. Agree?
