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.

Great article Diane. However, we have eliminated the in depth study of the arts (Dance, music and the visual arts) to our great detriment especially with young children who thrive when info is delivered with the aid of the arts. Ask anyone who has been a musician how their math skills are. Ask any visual artist how their human skills have been improved. I recommend that every parent, teacher and administrator read " This is your brain on Music". We must remember that that the second greatest collection of dance, music and the visual arts is only surpassed by the written word. This collection of arts is the product of genius and children need to be put in touch with it. Did you know that MIT has a concert Band and a Jazz Band?

Since 2005, the North Carolina statutes have authorized the state’s registers of deeds to receive and keep the real estate records in electronic form. G.S. 47-16.3 provides as follows: “If a law requires, as a condition for recording, that a document be an original, be on paper or another tangible medium, or be in writing, the requirement is satisfied by an electronic document . . ..” G.S. 47-16.4 provides that a register of deeds “[m]ay receive, index, store, archive, and transmit electronic documents,” and “[m]ay convert paper documents accepted for recording into electronic form.” A register is not required to keep real estate records, whether received in paper or electronic form, in paper form. Most registers across the state do not keep paper versions of at least some permanent real estate records, and this is increasingly the case due to space limitations, advances in digital storage, and transactional expectations for electronic commerce.

15. That said, the Beaufort County Republican Party operated correctly under the Plan
of Organization. The Automatic Resignation provision, unlike the Party Disloyalty provision,
does not afford any opportunity to be heard to individuals like Mr. Dunn.

I informed Mr. Dunn that he had the right to file for an arbitration hearing and I am glad he did. We have revised our Plan of Organization to hear items such as these at the local level. I believe this is the way it should be. I respect the process. Thank you for your spin but I will be happy to clarify and answer any questions.

This is disinformation. There are no secret meetings nor secret operations. All meetings are public. Officers meet once a month to prepare an agenda. The petition referred to above will be on the June 14 agenda for discussion. The BC Republican Party invites you to attend.

Interesting you wrote a positive article on technology for ECU yet for our local school district you speak negative and use terms like evil including quoting scripture. If people do not like the use of technology they need to homeschool. You have a choice. Whether you like it or not Technology runs this nation. Including this
antiquated website.

Oh it’s all very real.

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Of these things put them in remembrance; For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

-Holy Bible KJV

This is just more of the pattern of "transgender" violence. This is a group of mentally ill people who should not have access to anything that can be used as a weapon - a gun, a knife, a vehicle, etc. Ideally, they should be institutionalized.

American leftwing judges have been usurping legislative power for years by legislating from the bench, but now they are also trying to seize executive power as well from Trump. This should not be tolerated. These out of control judges need to be put in their place. It looks like it is even worse in Brazil.

(commented on September 13th, 2025 @ 10:23 am)
Stan, impeachment of a judge takes a 2/3rds vote in the Senate for conviction and removal. With the ultra-partisan Democrat block in the Senate, that impossible as a practical matter. Disbarment by their home state Bar would probably do the trick, and conflict of interest may be the issue to use, but finding a state Bar willing to do that is going to be a problem, and likely impossible in liberal states.

Well I can see you have to be a Republican to ride this train here. Democrats don’t stand a chance here. Well I don’t vote Republican or Democrat, I vote for the best person for the job. Looking at the Sheriff candidates, I am really leaning towards Harold Bright. He has a no nonsense approach and has stated several times he is for all people not just a party. He has 30 years of service so I think he’s he smart choice. With all the turmoil our current Sheriff has put us in, I know we need change. I see my concerns about Mr. Rogerson still haven’t been answered but the theory about him being related to other candidates is scary. Just concretes my decision even more.

(commented on May 2nd, 2022 @ 3:15 pm)
I am wondering if the voters in Beaufort County are asking the same questions I am about Democrat candidate Corey Rogerson? In May of 2021 Rogerson was fired by current Sheriff Ernie Coleman. Rogerson stated that he was given no reason for his termination. Sheriff Coleman has also failed to give us all a reason. I’m sorry but if I own a business and am looking to fill a position and an individual is applying for that opening, I would want to know why a person was fired from their previous employer. I also believe if anyone is fired from any job by their boss, they know why. Rogerson’s case just doesn’t make sense.
Rogerson only worked only 2 years as a Beaufort County deputy. In that 2 years I am sure he saw corruption or unethical things in the command staff and some of the deputies. Well did you not hear me say Rogerson was also previously a deputy? Rogerson did not have a problem then with the so called wrong doings and saw first-hand the so called problems that were there. My question is why did he not say anything then? Rogerson did not say a thing until it effected his pockets. All of a sudden he wants to become our savior? I’m sorry I don’t buy it. I think Mr. Rogerson is running for Sheriff due to a vendetta against the current Sheriff not because he wants to help anyone from Beaufort County. What better way to get back at a man than to try and take his job?
I did not ask these questions to belittle or cause anyone any grief. I knew if I asked these on Facebook or Mr. Rogerson directly, nobody else would hear the answers to these questions that a lot of us are asking. I pray Mr. Rogerson answers these issues honestly. I agree with some of the things Mr. Rogerson has said in his public forums but with the small amount of experience he has compared to the other candidates, I/we need more information.

Great analysis. Our Board and Administration has allowed funding to be wasted by adding more Admin employees. These funds should have been used for school safety. Nothing is more important than the safety of our children. We should have school resource officers, school nurses, and mental health professionals available to deal with such emergencies, and funds should be avail for these positions in addition to needed security features at the doorways.

I was sincerely saddened to see our Board this past Tues.Evening spend nearly an hour responding to a political letter instead of doing the business of the people.
As I stated at the meeting, I fully support Beaufort County Schools to the best of my ability. Also, it is always my goal to be good stewards of our time and resources as board members.
As the political season continues, I hope we can keep politics out of our board meetings !

Thank You Mr. Boyd,
Your comments are very encouraging. We will work hard this upcoming year to recruit more schools in Beaufort County to participate in the National day recognition for See You at the Pole.Donald Shreve

Do We know the names on the Executive Committee who voted to send the majority of Beaufort County Republican Party donated monies out of our County?

Un conductor negligente tendrá, sí o sí, que pagar por los daños causados a la parte involucrada, no somos únicos en el mundo, vivimos en sociedad y esta tiene reglas, entre mejor las sigamos, mejor será la convivencia, cuidémonos entre todos.
