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. Buzz Cayton |

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?

Editor's (Beaufort Observer) response: Stan is correct in all that he says. We differ only on the obvious soft assumption that DOJ could be convinced. Not the current DOJ. Jerry Langley and David Moore would see to in one phone call. A Romney DOJ would be irrelevant because any Pre-clearance would be appealed to the DC Court of Appeals and it would be killed there, not on a constitutional issue but on the factual basis. Hood's plan of 2 minority districts and 5 at-large would address the retrogression issue but would not likely fly because it would be statistical packing with a very distorted gerrymander. But you are precisely correct, without virtually unanimous agreement among the BOC, the current system is not going to change.
Did you and Steve evaluate preferential voting? |

What women are doing to the unborn child is unconscionable. I can think of no blood more innocent than that of an unborn child.
Proverbs 6:16-19 16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. |

Noticed that Greg Murphy is NOT on the list of 19 that voted against the bill. Really does not surprise me in the least his voting record speaks for itself.

The recently passed $1.2 trillion budget bill allocates a significant amount of funds for overseas border efforts.
RJ Hauman with the National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE) said, “The Biden administration wants nothing more than the ability to ‘manage’ an invasion here at home, all while helping nations abroad build walls. Make it make sense.” americanfaith.com |

Your last statement "I only believe studies conducted in the USA" says a lot about your undying loyalty to the liberal left. Your are a troll.

Did we need a study to tell us these people are not normal? "Reality refusal" seem to be very common these day.

Since these womens groups are suing the Biden regime over its dictatorial act of trying to rewrite by executive fiat a law passed by Congress, local schools should volunteer to become plaintiffs in these cases. Otherwise, local schools should tell the Biden regime to stick its federal funds where the sun does not shine. Congress makes law not the Dictator Biden.

Commented On SCOTUS upholds Texas restrictions on mail-in ballots
The federal commission on election practices chaired by President Jimmy Carter after the Bush-Gore dust up, reported that mail-in ballots were the ones most prone to vote fraud and recommended tight restrictions on that voting method. Carter's party, however, seems to like voting methods more open to fraud, and are pushing more and more of it.

Poor infrastructure management in one country does not justify its citizens invading a neighboring country. We need a president who will build the wall and defend our borders from invaders not a president who breaks our own immigration laws in a way that benefits the criminal human smuggling cartels in Mexico.
