Moore school board
clings to 'race theory'
The Moore County Board of Education opened its May 10 meeting with a moment of silence rather than a prayer seeking divine guidance. It could have used some. When presented with a widely supported proposal by the Board's policy committee, and an opportunity to comply with the will of parents across the community, several Board members grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory.
On a 4-3 partisan vote, the Board voted to leave on the table the possibility that it could adopt curriculum demeaning America's founding as illegitimate and inherently racist.
The vote to ban so-called Critical Race Theory was rejected by Republican board chair Libby Carter and her disciples, Ed Dennison (see more below), Pam Thompson and Stacey Caldwell. Members David Hensley, Philip Holmes and Bob Levy voted in favor of banning Marxist-based CRT from classrooms.
Mr. Dennison, who has assured citizens he is against Critical Race Theory, voted to uphold delaying its implementation based on a procedural dispute.
A majority of the 54 citizens who signed in to make public comments Monday night supported Mr. Levy's policy committee motion that the board summarily ban CRT. But Carter and her Leftist cohorts ignored the will of the taxpayers. Again.
Selected comments during the pre-vote public input session inside the Old Carthage Courthouse:
"CRT teaches division. The oppressor or the oppressed. Many of our states have banned it or are seeking to ban it. If you think CRT is not already … in our schools then you are not paying attention." (Sarah Slusser)
"It is important you take a really good look at your souls." (Pauline Bruno)
"We are ready to pull our children into private or home schools. We know the names of the school board members. We will choose to protect our children." (Holly Frank)
"Ban it from ever infiltrating our schools …. Children should not be treated like a victim or a villain based on their skin color. That is abusive. Don’t let them re-segregate us." (Kristi Tucker)
"Learning history does not mean you are re-writing history. Everyone has a past. America has a past. It is not about being ashamed of it but learning to do better." (Ariadne DeGarr)
"CRT and its derivatives are extremism. It only deprives our children an education grounded in fact. Reject CRT under whatever name is being peddled. Let’s leave radical politics outside the classroom." (Anton Sadovnikov)
"Ban it. If you don’t ban it, in my eyes you’re for it." (Christina McCall)

Ed Dennison
At-large member Moore County
Board of Education
Board member's April pledge
did not influence May 10 vote
"If (public comments) are what is perceived as being the 'Critical Race Theory', I want you to know I would never support any of them or the CRT. After reviewing all the new Social Study standards, I did not find any of these perceptions included in the new standards and absolutely no mention of the CRT. ... When we are presented with our proposed curriculum, within the next few months, I will certainly be checking to make sure they are not included in our curriculum."
Moore County Board of Education member Ed Dennison, on the record in a Facebook post April 22, 2021, pledging that he will not support Critical Race Theory curricula in county schools.
Marxist ideologies entrenched
in school boards nationwide
Critical race theory is an academic discipline, formulated in the 1990s, built on the intellectual framework of identity-based Marxism. Relegated for many years to universities and obscure academic journals, over the past decade it has increasingly become the default ideology in our public institutions.
Bill opposing Race Theory
in General Assembly pipeline
North Carolina House Education Chairmen John Torbett (R-Gaston) and Hugh Blackwell (R-Burke), Tuesday unveiled legislation preventing discriminatory concepts, like Critical Race Theory, from being taught as fact or endorsed in North Carolina school districts. Local NC-52 Rep. Jamie Boles is a bill sponsor.
House Bill 324 would prevent students or teachers from being taught that one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex, or other related concepts that reduce individuals to their gender or skin color.
“This is a common-sense bill that provides reasonable expectations for the kind of civil discourse we want our children to experience in public schools," said Catherine Truitt, Superintendent of Public Instruction. "This 'golden rule' approach ensures that all voices are valued in our school system." Read more. Read the bill.

Modems were embedded
in NC ES&S voting tabulators
Voter Integrity Project of North Carolina reports that voting tabulators across the state were compromised on and before November 3, 2020. Many in both parties have dismissed election fraud promulgated by technology as unfounded speculation. But evidence overturns their skepticism.
“A modem chip embedded into the motherboard of the the most popular voting machine in North Carolina greatly undercuts the State Board of Election’s claim that no tabulation equipment was connected to the internet,” said Jay DeLancy of Voter Integrity Project. “Now more than ever, we need the Legislature to step up and audit the 2020 elections.”

South Dakota Gov. Noem confirms NC convention visit
Gov. Kristi Noem respects the rights of her fellow citizens by trusting them to exercise their personal responsibility to make the best decisions for themselves, their loved-ones, and – in turn – their communities.
This approach has been most evident in her response to the (Wuhan virus) pandemic: Governor Noem never ordered a single business or church to close and never issued a statewide shelter-in-place order.
Noem has been confirmed as a keynote speaker before delegates of the June 3-6 North Carolina Republican Convention. Register now.

Fauci suggests masks
are here to stay for 'safety'
Wuhan virus eradication czar Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has said so much but has assisted so few, now says Americans might want to wear masks forever since doing so could potentially mitigate the seasonal flu. For the record, never leaving your house could potentially reduce your chances of getting hit by a car, but no one would consider that a useful health tip. Read more.
Cooper declares emergency,
fuel panic ensues by dawn
Governor Roy Cooper signed an Executive Order on Monday declaring a State of Emergency in North Carolina in response to the temporary shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline after a cyberattack over the weekend.
The Colonial Pipeline transports gasoline and other fuel through 10 states between Texas and New Jersey. It delivers roughly 45% of the fuel consumed on the East Coast, according to the company. At the moment, though, officials said there is no fuel shortage. (Source: MyFox8.com, May 11, 5:32 a.m.)
