The provisions of the school board policies I moved to change on parent input were some that had come down from Raleigh before I was on the board. They fly in the face of the landmark US Supreme Court decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor, which was decided last summer and upholds parental rights on a wide range of controversial school materials. Indeed, if the issue in any way can be related to religion, as LGBTQ materials were in that case, parental rights now trump eveyone else. I want to see our board revisit this issue so that we can align our policies with the US Surpeme Court ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor.

One would think that any elected body would take into account the opinions of those who elect them. In the case of the school board, that would be the parents and the taxpayers. Those board members who voted to respect and consider those opinions, School Board members Rader, Hickman, Shreve, and Davis should be applauded - and re-elected. That is the type of board members we need. The others? Not so much!

Why is Carolyn Walker out recruiting opponents for conservative school board members? Is she trying to set up her own little political machine? It sounds like she is the one who needs to go since she is anti-parent.

CV: Good point. We need to remember our pro-parent School Board members. In fact, we need to remember all of our elected officials that act and govern like conservatives and not just give it lip service on occasion.

BTW I'm sure you know we can't assume all Republicans are conservative. On our local Beaufort County boards Democrats, when they exist, are only pile on or swing votes. The real battles between conservative and liberal policies are between Republicans.

With election time coming, lets give credit where credit is due. Board member Steven Rader made the motion to also consider parents opinions and it was seconded by Board member Charles Hickman. Liberal board member Carolyn Walker spoke against the motion (and thus against parents). Board members Stacey Davis and Donald Shreve also supported the pro-parent motion.

Rader, Hickman, and Shreve are all up for re-election this year. Two of them have opponents recruited by Carolyn Walker. Most of those who opposed parents on this vote will be up for election in 2028. It will be 2028 for Beaufort County to take our school board back. This year, it is mostly protecting the pro-parent members who are being challenged.
