Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?

98.85% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.

1.15% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.

0% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

Commented on The lunacy of voting for cross-town busing--Revised and updated

Firebrand:

Eighty-year-olds may have something to offer called wisdom. What have consolidated schools brought you? 65% of the children in Beaufort County are below the standard reading level and math levels. If the current goes off, they can't make change. Most cannot read a ruler. Many cannot read cursive. How about basic math like 8X9? Let's look at discipline. I know some teachers who have left the profession because of not getting the support they needed. Last year (2021) 8 of 13 Schools in Beaufort County were rated (D) (now 40) by the DPE. I talked to a man running for the school board in Belhaven who has two people on the PTO (Old PTA) committee. No Parent involvement. Another one of us old eighty-year-olds wanted to visit a class his grandchild was attending. He found that was not allowed. There was a time when we had "Grade Mothers" who came and helped students who were falling behind. There are tons of money for underserved children, but I never hear this mentioned at the local school board meeting. We are facing the largest drop-out rate of students in history and building bigger schools that the Government control is not the answer. Ride through some small towns and communities that got smaller when the schools were closed for consolidation.

If bigger and consolidation works, show me.

Commented on The inappropriate instructional materials imbroglio shows how sloppy our school system is being run

Mr. Ceres. Not to put too fine a point on your comments re. Mrs. Walker’s actions at the 10-29-23 board meeting, allow us to clarify our point. That point is that if one accepts Mrs. Walker's major premise ("no school board members were aware of the inappropriate assignment and do not condone it...") missed the point also. Nothing she said or did at that meeting would prevent it from happening again and again, as has been true this school year. This Board was told about the policy weaknesses and the first time (when action should have been taken) the response was "it (CRT) is not happening in our schools..." That was demonstrably false. Given the current status of how this board has dealt with inappropriate materials being distributed to our BCS students (not BCCC students), it is obvious that it will happen again, regardless of whether any of these board members know about it in advance or whether they approve of the materials or not. That is a subsidiary issue. The major issue is why have they not fixed this problem long before now? If the understanding between the two organizations is in need of review, which is obvious from the facts, then the primary issue, again, begs the question of why it has not already been addressed and when in fact will it be addressed rather than proffering the lame excuse: "we didn't know…" As Yogi Berra once said: "we aren't arguing about the last pitch, but the next one." We call upon you in your campaigning, to help keep the focus on why this situation happened in the first place. To play on our metaphor, there are horses still in the barn and even if these board members do not know the doors are still open, that is an unacceptable excuse to allow it to continue, or in all due respect to you, justification for diverting the public's attention to subsidiary issues. Again, how could this situation be allowed to happen even after the board was warned about it by the Citizens For Better Government?

Prendiegirl: The incident may have happened at the College but the Early College is a BCS school, funded by the state through BC Bd of Education. Should you doubt this, simply check the Education Directory published by the NC Dept. of Public Instruction. Secondly, why would the Superintendent be making the comments he made in the 9-19-23 video were it not one of his schools that created the problem? And your reference to HIPPA is equally erroneous. HIPPA applies to medical records. It is NCGS 115-325 that governs public school employees and that statute specifically provides that if the BOE determines that it is necessary to disclose employee personnel information to mitigate a loss of public confidence it may release personnel information...clearly this case presents such a matter. I would respectfully suggest you get your facts straight before posting erroneous information. Editor, Beaufort Observer.

Let the record show that when I, the Editor, selected this graphic I did not even notice the color of their skin. Big Bob, what purpose do you have in focusing on that aspect at the expense of the real story here?
