As I have mentioned in prior articles, the local Boards of Education are the only elected body that we have direct influence over when it comes to our county public school systems. The State Board of Education is made up of appointed members. It is incumbent on us to make sure that the local Boards of Education members know how we want the schools to operate. We can let them know by attending the Board meetings, contacting individual board members, or by formal resolutions directing them to take specific actions.\u00a0 An example of the latter is the four resolutions that will be presented to the Craven County Board of Election on Thursday November 16 at their public meeting.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The four resolutions consist of the following:\u00a0 <\/span>Resolution #1:<\/span><\/b> \u00a0 Removing identity focus (i.e. Critical Race Theory) from the curriculum in the schools in all grades. Removing all books, etc., that advocate CRT.\u00a0 American is not a racist country and should not be portrayed as such. People should be judged by the content of their character and achievement and not their ethnic\/racial identity.\u00a0 <\/span>Resolution #2:\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>Removing Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) teaching and practices from the schools. DEI is based on Marxist principles that advocate equal outcome instead of the American principle of equal opportunity. This teaching not only breeds distrust and hostility between the races, but undermines the notion that everyone should strive to achieve their best and should be rewarded appropriately.\u00a0 <\/span>Resolution #3:\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>Removing transgender instruction. The notion that any student can choose their gender rather than live consistent with their gender at birth is destructive and amounts to child abuse.\u00a0 All children should be addressed by the pronoun consistent with their biological gender at birth and any child exhibiting gender confusion should be referred to their parent(s)–not to school counselors.\u00a0 <\/span>Resoution #4:\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>Climate Change. Children in public school are being indoctrinated with the unproven belief that climate change is being caused by man\u2019s burning of fossil fuels and that the earth will become uninhabitable if drastic action like wind and solar are not implemented. This has become the ideology of the Left and anyone challenging their radical beliefs is labeled a \u201cclimate denier\u201d.\u00a0 This resolution would require that both sides of this issue be covered as part of regular science classes and not used as indoctrination. The climate has never been static and has always been changing. They are frightening our children with their unproven ideology.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most clear thinking conservatives will agree that the above issues need to be removed from the public schools. They represent a communist inspired threat to our way of life and American values. The public schools should be focusing on doing a better job teaching traditional academic skills.\u00a0 For example, the recent report about the Craven County Schools showed that 57% of students are not reading at expected grade level and a whopping 65% are not achieving at the expected grade levels in math. Meanwhile, it is costing the\u00a0 taxpayers close to $12,000 per year per student. It is high time that the Board of Education force the school administration to focus on improving academic performance and stop indoctrinating our children.\u00a0 If you agree you should let your Board member know. It should be noted that these four resolutions were drafted by the Craven County 20<\/span>th<\/span> Republican Precinct, and endorsed by the Craven County GOP Executive Committee and the Craven County Republican Men\u2019s Club.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
