I was surprised that the Dems did not have one person dressed in Trans garb to go along with the pink outfits. They did not remember that for some of us old guys, Pink meant Pinkos (like communists of old). Or maybe that was subliminal campaigning.

While the present management diddles with lights for the soccer fields and monolith buildings to consolidate schools for less individual help and more discipline problems, what is being done for our under-served students? The ones with 40% to 47% at home with no daddy. The ones that are now four years behind since Covid. I see the foo-foo about buildings but how about this huge segment of children that will drop out as soon as they can? Then back on the street. Learning how to work the system for welfare and missing a life that could have been. What is the plan for this group? Never herd it mentioned at a school board meeting.

Commented on Why Ethics, We Have the Law?It is very important to forward this information to your email contacts. Not everyone keeps up with what is happening in our local school system. Even though we are turning out students that have very low abilities in math and reading, few people seem to know this.

The confusing thing is that the School Board has not learned that the Superintendent works for them. He is hired-help. Yet he sits at the front desk with his secretary, alongside the School Board Chairman, and reads the rules for the School Board at each meeting. He is not a member of the board but functions as one. Now Cheeseman is an engineer and didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn last night. Parents need to get involved.

It is a lot to digest in one sitting, but I wonder if we should help them understand that bussing means K students (5 years old) will be riding on their own on a bus. The oldest child will be 8 or 9 years old. Will a five-year-old get off of the bus and run out in the street?

There is a huge list that needs to be taken care of in our health system.
A major help would be the elimination of CON (Certificate of Need) and then Tort Reform. Texas is a good model. They were successful in killing CON and getting reasonable limits on Tort Reform. Competition always improves service. We do not have sufficient GP’s because the system discourages local practices.

Stan is right. We not only fail to remember but fail to teach this to our children. Once in a while we hear the term “The greatest generation” and most young people have no idea what that means.
I was almost seven years old when I was sitting in my father’s chair in pajamas listening to a re-run of “Jack Armstrong the all-American boy” on that Sunday morning when I heard the announcement that Pearl Harber had been bombed. In less than a year the Army came to my Dad, while we lived in Blounts Creek, and asked if they could put an Observation Post in our side yard. It did not take an act of Congress or a court action, my Dad said yes. We were at war. My mother became the Chief Observer, and we spotted airplanes for the entire war. By the time I was nine years old, I could identify all planes that flew by their silhouette. I thought I was in the Army.

It sounds like the School Board needs the newly elected School Board now! How much longer will Beaufort County have to endure this continued bad judgment?
The Superintendent should offer direction, input, requests, goals, and reports but he is not the School Board. To put it bluntly, he is hired help and not the School Board's Vice Chairman. The sooner this board understands this the better educations our children will get.

In 958 I was able to get 12 men to volunteer and I organized the first Rescue Squad that Beaufort County had. I was captain of that group for five years with no pay. We worked wrecks, drownings, heart attacks, fires, Hurricanes, and other emergency calls. There was never a thought about color, creed, political party or status. All were human beings. Our motto was, “What ye do unto the least one of these, ye do it unto me”. When we stoop to party over people, we have reached the bottom of the rot barrel. It looks like some have gotten there.

Some people are afraid to wear a Trump cap or put a sticker on their vehicle. Consider the security that has been increased to protect Trump. When we allow a breakdown in our law and order we have Tirrany and Chaos. When we allow the rhetoric that is being promoted in our universities and our public schools, there is less respect for our Country and the rule of law. This is the greatest Nation on the earth, and we should be proud of it and try to preserve the successful parts of this great experiment.

Commented on NC General Statutes ignored by NC DPI, Beaufort County Commissioners, and Beaufort County School Board?A big thank you to Ray Leary for hours of research and follow-up that should be SOP for the School Board and those making discissions in the Superintendent's office. We should have learned by now that neighborhood schools are better for the lower grades. This means less bussing and better individual help with the opportunity for more parent involvement.

Just for the record. I was in the military in 1957 going through basic and advanced combat training. My captain was black and a number of drill Sergeants. There was nothing woke about the unit that I was assigned to. My introduction was from a black drill sergeant who announced, "Gentlemen you are the chosen few. You are going to Tank Hill. There are two ways you can leave. One is to graduate, and the other is laying down".
