In the News and Observer this morning:
Here’s a look at today’s headlines and news updates.
A committee of the UNC System Board of Governors made its first move to potentially eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at the state’s 16 public universities. While the full 24-member board needs to vote on the policy before it takes effect, there are many questions about what it would mean for diversity and job cuts. If passed, the UNC System would follow in the footsteps of other institutions around the country that are ending or reducing DEI efforts.

We can work on this at a local level by changing our Beaufort County school board. Look at what you are getting from the management that you have. It is not all teacher's fault. Many are dedicated and committed to their profession. However, they are hindered by the curriculum. This can be changed by a more conservative school board.

In 1965, Paul Harvey decided to warn America because he foresaw this time in America's future when it was going to be attacked not by a foreign foe but domestically by the forces that ended up being the Democrat Party. In an attempt to knock some sense into America, he broadcast his monumental essay "If I were the devil" on radios all over the country. I do not know whether or not Paul Harvey knew that by describing the identity markers of the Devil in 1965, he was describing the attributes of today's Democrat Party. The similarities are shocking. Will you see for yourself?
Printed in the Alabama Gazette July 1, 2019. "If I Were the Devil" by Paul Harvey.

Old satan must be laughing with glee as he surveys this world. And while he is doing what he is doing, we will sit by and let him by not getting involved; not going to a school board meeting; and not doing our part to clean up the corruption and dumb decisions in our local, State, and Federal Government.

Brinson introduced himself to me while I was working at the polls. He told me Raleigh was glad to see Speciale go. Carry was one problem. Casinos will be the next. Brinson has no experience in the position that he is seeking and maybe he is also too dumb to know what is happening to him. He is now a bought and paid for Burgernite to be led around by the nose. It is too bad that the uninformed voters put him in. It goes to show you how little our local people keep up with what is happening. Add another Rino to the brood.

We need Quotas, background checks, and controlled entry for all immigrants. Citizenship laws should be reviewed and made realistic. Non-citizens should be treated as non-citizens. Non-citizens should not have voting rights or welfare privileges. Those breaking the law of unlawful entry or criminal offenses should be deported.

Help me here! Are you guys building gallows for us MAGA folks if you all win? You are already locking up church-going folks for singing hymns in public. Oh, I forgot, "Some pigs are more equal than others".

Show me some numbers on this government that works.
Like: Rape, Murder, Carjacking, Cop-killing, Retail theft, Riots, destruction of public property, out-of-control immigration, rampant price increases, breakdown in our education system, and a weak military with inadequate leadership.

Big Bob, I must have missed something. I don't recall any news of Maga's burning down cities, causing riots, killing cops, staging mass looting, or tearing down history. They plan to restore law and order and comply with our constitution.

Just when it looked like we might be making headway here in Beaufort County and the nation beginning to wake up, according to the conservative news, we find this information being reported by the Washington Daily News.
"Beaufort County Community College vice president of student services Dr. LaTonya Nixon completed training through the Equity Coach Academy at Guilford Technical College. The program was initiated by the North Carolina Community College System to help support colleges working to include diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives into their plans and organizational structure. As an equity coach, Nixon will work with other community colleges across North Carolina to help institute new college-level plans. By having diversity, equity, and inclusion as part of its strategic plan, Beaufort CCC has made a strong commitment to making its motto of “You belong here!” a reality for all students."

I have not been aware of the BCCC not including all students.

Maybe I am not as brave as some people. I cannot imagine my first day at school walking into 1000 kids. Next, how would I find my room? How can I find my way back to the bus? Just thinking.

Tier one counties like ours, often attract Superintendents that need a stepping stone to another job. Cheeseman got a raise and contract renewal before the three new Board members were installed. So now he boasts that he cannot be fired because it would cost too much. If he keeps the DOE and the Teachers Union happy, he feels pretty secure. The Curriculum is not the responsibility of the Superintendent entirely. It is the responsibility of the School Board which is currently very weak and has not learned yet that Cheeseman is Hired Help. Leaving the subliminal message in their resolution that CRT can be justified is purely a smoke screen that our inept school board allowed while Cheeseman made sure to CHA. Teacher protection, Parental involvement, better discipline, and improved learning can be changed with some changes on your Beaufort County School Board.

My concern is a fair and honest election. We did not have one last time. Yes, the election was stolen.

RE: Test Scores for Private Schools.
In accordance with G.S. 115C-549, 550 and G.S. 115C-557, 558, each private school must administer a nationally standardized test or other nationally standardized equivalent measurement selected by the chief administrator to all students enrolled and regularly attending grades 3, 6, 9, and 11 each year. The nationally standardized test or other equivalent measurement selected by the chief administrator must measure achievement in the areas of English grammar, reading, spelling and mathematics in grades 3 and 6. For grade 9, the nationally standardized test or other equivalent measurement selected must measure either (a) achievement in the areas of English grammar, reading, spelling, and mathematics or (b) competencies in the verbal and quantitative areas. The grade 11 test must measure competencies in the verbal and quantitative areas. Non-public school law also requires that the test results be kept on file at the school's office for one year....

You are right.
We have had creeping socialism for a while and our local school board has had a hard time recognizing it. 70% of our students are not at grade level for reading and Math in Beaufort County. Eight of our schools were rated a (D) by the DOE. A (D) is now 40 by the current grading system. The math course, Bridges, has DEI built in as part of that course. Why is that part of a math course? The Current school board almost bought SAVVAS for $450,000.00 for our Social Studies program. SAVVAS had dominant features of the Rain-Bow Flag. The current board refuses to look at the Hillsdale Social Studies program, which is free. The State DOE Does not set the curriculum. The local School Board Does. Why are we in this mess? Parents need to get involved to find out. The first place to look is LEADERSHIP.

Bob, you are right that people fight and die for what the flag represents and that is why it should be protected as a symbol of democracy and freedom. It is by the sacrifice of those who have served that you are able to express your position on where you stand. We should all be thankful for that.
