You can't put a time limit on God! I believe if you do that is not God speaking! We should allow the Holy Spirit to do what He do until He is finished! We always limiting God but want the full blessings He has for us! We make time for what we want to and it's sad that we try to limit the one who gives us life! What if He rushed giving us breath, rushed getting us safely from point a to point b, or what if He rushed His patience with you? If we are going to make time for anyone it should be Him!

You fully realize nobody is demanding anything.

Catherine Truitt is a walking example of why we should not turn most of the education power over to the state superintendant of public instruction. Truitt is a liberal and fake Republican who has facilitated leftwing penetration into our schools. In fact, RINO Truitt badly needs a primary from a conservative.

Lets elect our state Board of Edudcation. Power to the People!, not school bureaucrats.

The School Board did NOT "investigate" 28 curricula. That is apparently the number the ultra-liberal Cooper-controlled state Board of Education approved, all "woke" to one degree or another. Superintendant Cheeseman handpicked a committee of school staff (NOT the school board members) who selected this SAVVAS curriculum and that was the only one presented to the school board, take it or leave. It was like a Soviet ballot - only one choice, yes or no. This is incredibly arrogant for staff to treat the elected decision making body this way.

It was refreshing to see our new conservative school board members do their own research on SAVVAS, which is easy enough to do these days with a computer. It is a very "woke" company, which even had its MATH curriculum rejected in Florida for being injected with "woke". A controversy in Arizona over SAVVAS' science curriculum that claimed that there are more than two genders even made the British newspaper.

Do I detect a little sour grapes on your own loss in the School Board race?

This is a rather slanted view of what actually happened at this school board meeting. Yes, there were lots of folks there and that was refreshing. NO there has been no attempt by the school board to adopt the aforementioned curriculum. It is only one of 28 curricular that the board has investigated. Some members of the board even intimated that they would not adopt this curriculum. It is unfortunate that some members of the board can't get their facts straight and talk more than they listen. You can't learn anything with your mouth wide open. It is also dubious that the 3 R's alone will do anything to turn this society around. The only thing that will is a Classical Education rooted in the truth.

At this point, who knows where the money goes?

As a county commissioner, I endeavor always to be resourceful. As a OEM manufacturer of of data management platforms, just one of our products but the biggest, I am forced to be a slave to the unwavering logic of directive thought.

In this constant headspace, I often feel like a man out of his time. What I see in government /governing, and the tack of doing business in many sectors in today's business world, it is just a shell game, where very little is real, and the art of the game is constant, often conflated misdirection.

It is time to pull back the curtain, and then let's all take a long peak of these inconsistent, unnatural processes.

The excuse is used that there is not funding to video the school board meetings and making them available on the public access channels as well as their web site.

This is not true. The commissioners give the school system well in excess of 15 million dollars each year. What do they do with it? The meetings are not videoed simply because the school Board does not want them filmed.

NO, the time has come to ELECT the state Board of Education. An all powerful Superintendant of Public Instruction is a very bad idea, and NOT conservative. Look at who is in that position now, RINO Catherine Truitt. She is nominally a Republican but functions as a liberal Democrat. She even hited a liberal Democrat as her chief lieutenant and has helped facilitate a lot of left wing programs in NC education.

The writer of Long Leaf Politics is a former co-worker of one of the RINOs on Truitt's staff, so that is undoubtedly why he is pushing this nonsense.

Education is an issue of huge concern to voters. We need an elected state school board. DPI is packed with liberal bureaucrats. House Bill 17 is a plan conservatives have put forward for years. It is time to enact it.
