I hope that more people will take Prendiegirl's advice and attend the school board meetings. You can watch the Chairman hang on to the arm of the Superintendent for what to say next. He still has not learned that the Superintendent works for the school board and the people and not the other way around. Oh, parents, they don't know how to raise children. The school will take care of that. Just drop them off and let them babysit until they can get home and the TV and cell phones take over the job.

Washington and Beaufort County now stand at the brink of the best opportunity to progress and grow that it has had in a long while if poor leadership does not kill it. The development of the Airport is bigger than many realize. We now have 25 boatbuilders in a 35-mile radius of Washington. The opportunity for residential growth is huge if promoted and handled well. This is a time for leadership that understands city planning and future vision. Leading in this climate means having a basic understanding of business and management. We do not have that now and we can help this by electing Bobby Roberson as our mayor.

How are rules and regulations set for the Register of Deeds office in North Carolina? Are there State Statutes that regulate the preservation of documents? With constant hacking and now AI coming on, how could anyone expect to completely trust that electronic documents could not be changed? It is good that public records may be retrieved without going to the Court House, but they should be backed up by hard copies that bear signatures.

Bob should review the last section of the quote from Martin Neimoller

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me –

Are we to understand that the Board refuses to even consider having a representative from Hilldale College present their social studies program to replace what was previously selected as Savvas with the Rainbow flag? I was told the Savvas program costs about 400 thousand dollars and the Hillsdale program is free. Until we elected the last three new board members the group was merrily going along with teaching CRT. They finally adopted a watered-down version of resistance. Correct me if I am wrong.

How will AI affect voting machines? We had major problems in the last election without AI. How can we know this next one will not be rigged more? We need a voting holiday and paper ballots.

Bob,
Try dropping your political and opinion biases and look at this whole mess through a logical and unbiased lens. We can learn from real History, and we can make decisions on real facts. The system is not working, and the left has not presented a good alternative. We all need to look at candidates and positions as if the label was off the can and judge what is in it. Change the method and change the result.

I understand this is for people that do not have access to the Internet. Before we spend millions, it would be good to just explore HuesNet.com Most people accept Dish TV., so why not the Internet? Maybe some of the I.T. people can enlighten me.

What happened to integrity?
Not only are Democrats dangerous, but Rino's are worse.
Next are the uninformed. We all have to "Lift where we stand". Saving America will start with the local and state politicians.

Bob
Have you looked at the Hillsdale Curriculum? It is available on their website. Strange how facts matter. But that may not be in your agenda.

About 37% of registered voters in Beaufort County are declared unaffiliated. These are some of the best-informed people that have realized the corruption in both parties. While this is a Gallant decision, it does make it difficult to run for office. I would encourage you to register as a party member in order to get your name on the ballot. We need well-informed patriots to help us take back our County on our School board, City Council and County Commission.

The bill, SB 579, passed the Senate Rules Committee by voice vote. The bill makes it a Class H felony to disseminate obscenity in the presence of an individual under the age of 18. Under current law, it’s a Class I felony. Will this apply to some of the material that is available in some schools? IE Gender Queer, ETC. Will a teacher inviting a cross-dresser or other Alphabet members to come in and perform lude behavior be held to this law? Will there be oversight on material already in public school libraries to see if it defies this law? Oh, I forgot. We can't have Huckleberry Fin in the library but to take out some of the porno being taught in some classes would be book burning. I'm afraid we have already let the camel get his nose under the tent.

To Concerned Taxpayer:
You are right! The Hillsdale curriculum is filled with fact and patriotism and not woke and liberal agendas. We see our Country falling apart because of this infectious disease. Why would we want this to be perpetrated in our local school system? As we have seen in other school boards, they do not have to roll over and whimper at every whim of the BOE, BOI and the Teachers Union. But the old six members are not fighting for our best interest. Instead of straining over not adopting a sound traditional program that will prepare our students for the real world, why are they not meeting on why 8 of our 13 schools now have failing grades and 35% of our students in Beaufort County are at grade level for reading and math. It all reverts to leadership and management.

The Founding Fathers wanted to be sure that there would be no religion sponsored by any state and that the legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” The phrase in Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist expressing a wall of separation between Church & State was to clarify that no State or Government could declare any one religion and he wanted to be sure that all men would be assured their natural right to worship as they please.
This letter was not part of the Constitution. However, the left and uninformed have tried to use that phrase to “build a wall of separation between church and state to prohibit prayer and other forms of teaching religion. I have heard most of the implied talking points but go ahead and give it your best shot. This country and its Constitution were founded on freedom and most of all freedom of religion.

Politics has become a dishonorable business. It is now a blood sport with few rules that are enforced. As a result, Good competent people with integrity hesitate to get involved. However, we have reached a point in our community, county, and state where we must make a stand. Only six months now there will be the start of filings for the upcoming election. One of the most important things that we as citizens of Beaufort County can do is look for and solicit competent people to run for office. We are in a real local war to save our children and our way of life. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,”

We have three good people on the school board. We need two more. I hope that some level-headed citizens from Beaufort County will step up. At some point, the stonewalling has to stop.

Remember the Ross Perot Campaign when he warned of that "Gian Sucking Sound" that would be heard as we set up all the foreign trade deals. Now we are going to propagate a stronger Communist Party than we already have being promoted in our schools.
