‘Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.’
The quote is most likely due to writer and philosopher George Santayana, and in its original form it read, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” we do not have to look far to find people that lived through World war 2, Korea, Vietnam, the Berlin Crises, the Killing fields of Cambodia, the war in the Middle East, and the list goes on. But it is not being taught in our schools. Now it stands at our back door to start all over again. "When will they ever learn".

Commented on The erosion of our Church foundationOne of the choices for the Beaufort County Schools Social Studies Curriculum offered by the NC Department of Instruction had a section on "How to Dispute the Church". Why was that program ever a choice from our DPI in Raleigh? When will our local parents get involved to clean up the failed system that we now have in our public schools?

Commented on Choice is the best, and perhaps only, thing that will save our schools and hence our nationA simple and realistic approach is to look for success stories wherever they are and learn or emulate them. Competition in industry creates better products. The same could be true in the School system if the Government would get out of the way. The next thing is management. “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.” Why are 65% of the students in Beaufort County not at reading and math grade levels?

Commented on How do you turn around a failing school?Great article with information that should be considered in Beaufort County Schools. Engaging parents is a very important part of the formula and until recently our school board has not worked to involve the family and community to help.
While the current administration and liberal news is trying to tear down the family, this past School Board did not have the guts to simply say, “We will not teach CRT in our schools”. So, hate and division are an undercurrent still floating around out there. Now we have three new members that are asking the right questions. It all comes down to leadership and vision. We seem to be quick to display the Rain-Bow flag but where is the American Flag in a classroom or hallway? Are there any images of successful people that students might immolate displayed in the schools? How about discipline and behavioral illnesses? Are these two problems a priority? We know the overall problem is that 8 of our 13 schools rate a D by the DPI. Who is responsible

There must have been a line of parents for Pickup. Did no one see the need to intervene? Where was the resource officer? That is the time of day that you will have a gathering and people driving in from anywhere. Would that not be a place to oversee and police? Oh, Big Bob, now we are going to encourage black people to spend the next 150 years getting even and that will make everything all right. When will you learn that hatred destroys the vessel it is housed in.
