Robert's Rules of Order

Just received my newest favorite reading material.

Every member of the Richland 2 school board should have a copy. And not just to use as a paper-weight.

Look up valuable procedural information, such as when six board members vote and it's a tie, what does that mean? Does the motion pass or fail?

And when a member is out-of-order with a question or comment, how do you cut them off?

And when there is not a legal quorum present, can the board hold a meeting? Or if a member leaves the meeting, resulting in loss of a quorum, must the meeting stop?

Board Policy refers to Robert's Rules of Order. Do any of the board members know what that reference is? 

Will it come to this?

When more and more parents start questioning Richland 2 about Critical Race Theory (CRT), will it come to this?

A mother of a kindergarten student in Rhode Island worries that she might be sued by a school committee. Huh? by a school "committee"? She is asking a lot of questions about CRT, and the school district told her to use FOIA for her questions.

According to this article, the principal told her they don't refer to "kids as boys and girls." Well, what do they call them? Is this stupid, or is this stupid?

How much simpler it would have been if they had just answered the questions. Of course, they did not want to answer her questions. She was pinning them down on something on which they did not want to be pinned down.

Three cheers to mom Nicole Solas. (FoxNews ducked on naming her town, the school, the school district or the principal. Chickens!)

CRT? Seriously?

So you think you know all about Critical Race Theory (CRT)?

Check out this video by a black man and his daughter!

Video of the Year?  First Prize!!!

Many states are acting now to ban CRT.

Start asking questions now about which Richland 2 school board members support CRT. And which administrators support CRT.

When you have answers, post them in the Comments below.

And here's another blast at CRT. 

A Colorado mom and radio show host takes off on CRT and tells a school board that "...the training (is) a “nightmare” that needs to “end now.” She's talking about the "training" (read: indoctrination) being foisted on the district by a "diversity consulting firm".

Richland 2 has used a training by USC profession Gloria Boutte. You should learn more about that. It promotes use of "cohorts" (a $100 word for something else). Perhaps a Richland 2 teacher could enlighten me on exactly what a "cohort" is or does. 

Email me at gusphilpott@gmail.com  I guarantee confidentiality. Your name and connection to Richland 2 will NOT be mentioned. Ever.

Are boys girls?

Read this article about the Loudoun County, Va. school district, which recently stomped on a teacher who won't call a boy a girl. Read it here. Elementary school teacher Byron Cross spoke out at a school board meeting on May 25. And on May 27, Ka-bam!!! "You're outa here!" What kind of idiots are on that school board. Woke-ism at its worst!!!

Is there any chance that this nonsense is gaining traction in the Richland 2 School District?

Should a teacher be required to address a gender-confused male, who wants to be a female, as "she"?

And what about the poor student who is sitting next to a boy, and the boy wants to be called "Mary"? Should that student be penalized, disciplined, graded down or sent to the principal's office?

Who on the Richland 2 School Board thinks this way? Anyone?

Comments below, please.

Anti-CRT Fight in Virginia

Do you support Critical Race Theory (CRT)? Do you know what it really is?

Do you oppose CRT? Are you worried that your children will be targeted in the classroom and graded down, if their teachers and administrators learn that you oppose CRT? Are teachers worried about job security, if they don't support CRT?

With students returning to the classroom, how will you know to what extent they may be improperly influenced toward CRT?

Read this article and learn what's going on in Virginia.

Show up at school board meetings and ask for specific information about CRT. And ask about all the other programs akin to CRT. You know, those "diversity" and "inclusion" programs. The ones that tell teachers what to think and what to say. The programs that want a face in front of the students that looks like the faces of the students. Meaning, black.

Ask about the superintendent's "100 Premier men of color" program, on which he is not evaluated because it's not even in his job description. Ask why it is a District program, if the District (school board) did not approve it. Ask how much money (public dollars) is being spent on it, and why! How did it creep into Richland 2 School District?

School Board Officer election - just around the corner

Get ready for the 2022 school board race right here in Richland County. Two trustees will be up for re-election: Manning and Caution-Parker. And you can count on trustees-elect McKie and Holmes to run again. 

The big problem? McKie and Holmes aren't even legitimate members of the Richland 2 school board.

Holmes said a while back that she wants to be board chair. It would be nice if she became a legitimate board member first. Will The Squad elect Holmes as Board Chair on June 29?

Perhaps one day soon the S.C. Supreme Court will address the usurping of public office by McKie and Holmes, who have never taken the oath of office legally. 

Contact school board members now, and ask them to be responsible in their election of Board Officers on June 29. 

Decide for yourself which trustees (or trustees-elect) have gone "woke" and elect responsible, conservative replacements in November 2022. 

Learn the dangers of Critical Race Theory and to what extent it is being implemented in Richland 2. Are the elements of it present, but it's just not being called by its name?

Watch out for the smoke-and-mirrors routine. All you have to do is attend (or watch) a couple of school board meetings. If a question is to be answered or an explanation give, you can be certain that if 15 words will suffice, a dissertation of 3-5 minutes will magically appear.

Last Tuesday's board meeting was over 3 hours. Inexcusable!!!
