"The push for school districts to offer more choices to students has been stopped this year by lawmakers."
Whose push is this? Oh, yes. The State Superintendent of Education. We're using the word "choice" here loosely, as in charter schools. If school districts need more charter schools, let's see elected school boards and community members organize them without the help of the legislature.
"After meeting with [Nancy] Cook about her controversial comment [see my previous blog about CCSD airheads] over the weekend, the [NAACP] said she should enroll in sensitivity and diversity training, and urged other members of the county school board to condemn her comment."
Can we require President Dot Scott to attend also? She believes anyone with a white skin must be racist [i.e., her previous remarks on organizing of the new charter high school downtown--a racist plot]. That couple could contribute so much to the class!

No wonder we have such a high homicide rate in North Charleston.
I know--it's not that funny when you read the article. Still.

After reading many of the Post and Courier blog comments (nearly 300 and counting) attached to its piece that appeared yesterday about Dot Scott and Nancy Cook, you begin to ask just how Charleston manages to be designated repeatedly as America's most polite city. Who's fooling whom? This place is about as rude as it gets. From the comments I've seen it looks like a sensitivity class in Charleston is needed for more people across the spectrum than just these two sick puppies. Miss Manners would hae been shocked long ago at the behavior of many of this city's leaders.
Will someone give me the blog address for the Post and Courier?

To the first poster: exactly the crowd Cook hopes to appeal to. Her comments were not inadvertent.
