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".

I know the woke community does not want to hear this or agree but for the short time that I was in the Army the program was to teach us how to break things and kill people. It is unfortunate, but war is Hell and people have to be trained to face that if we plan to win a war.

I was blocked by three people when I went to vote who explained to me that the amendment for citizen ship was poorly written, and we needed to vote against it. These were all working from the Democrat Tent. They have a right to express their opinion and hand out material, but I was pushing my wife in a wheelchair, and they literally surrounded us and blocked our way while they made their pitch.

Commented on Conservative Club AddressingWe need to help our church friends understand the importance of voting in this election to protect our U.S. Constitution, children, family, right to worship, and protecting the unborn. We will not find a perfect politician but Donald Trump is our best choice.

Bob might review the story by Anderson, "The Emperor's New Clothes".
The tale concerns an emperor who has an obsession with fancy new clothes, and spends lavishly on them, at the expense of state matters. One day, two con-men visit the emperor's capital. Posing as weavers, they offer to supply him with magnificent clothes that are invisible to those who are incompetent or stupid. Washington now has so many con men dipping into the money stream and spreading Inuendos, stealing and lying that it is now just a way of life. And we just sit back and say, "Thank you sir, may I have another".

Commented on former Clinton advisor calls for investigation of ABC News for debate rigging against TrumpWe hear from more than one source that Harris lied about 21 or more times.
One quick reply came from one of the moderators, correcting Trump, that no State allowed the killing of a baby after the 7th month. Fact-checkers found more than one and one up to after birth. Lying has become a way of life for Newscasters and politicians. Where do we find the truth? What is the yardstick we should use? How about the Bible and the Constitution? They are pretty good handbooks.

Someone help me with the rules. I understand that the State DPE requires that the students meet end-of-grade testing. The Curriculum is left up to the School Board. The Board would ask for professional input from the Superintendent but he does not make the final decision on the Curriculum. Based on the near-filing grades of eight of our thirteen schools, it looks like we need to take a good look at the the board and the administration.

Commented on Astonishing testimony at the inquiry into the attempted assassination attempt on President TrumpI know this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but could this have been an intentional error of omission? There are “Trump Haters” and those who fear the aftermath of a Trump victory as well as those who are being misled by legal propaganda from network TV. This was an attempt by a no-name no-ties individual that would not be traced to any group but was just allowed to slip through the cracks. The Swamp is so mirky now and the rot runs so deep. Where do we find the truth?

Commented on American Education: Public, Popular, and PolarizingWith the breakdown of our law and order, I guess Death Threats to not count.
Federal law prohibits transmitting "any threat to injure the person of another" and penalizes such threats with five years in prison. But not all threats are created equally, and the Supreme Court has determined that only "true threats" can be punished.

I see very little news about this in other publications. My feeling is that the general public is not aware of this debacle. I checked with WITN but no reply. This failed system started in the late 80s when school consolidation was the coming thing. We have proven that to be a failure. Why are we continuing with this failed system? Change the method. Change the results.

We have capable people running for the Beaufort County School Board to replace some of the Do-nothing ones on there now. The public was able to sidetrack one liberal Social Studies program where the second choice was a program on "How to Confront the church". Hillsdale College offers a conservative curriculum that is free, and the Board will not entertain looking at it. The local board can set the curriculum. What is being done to help our large group of students who are now four years behind? We need a change in the board and administration. It is not the teacher's fault. How about 8 out of 13 schools rated a D by the Department of Education? "Change the method, change the result".
