I agree….but only sort of….if customers keep flooding your restaurant no matter how much you raise the prices on your menu….do you blame the restaurant?

You do realize that the roles of Court Jester and King of the Board are already taken…right? Are you campaigning on behalf of term limits? 😉

This is the old chicken and egg debate....but I believe you're asking the wrong questions. The real question is why would something as arbitrary as the color of one's skin make someone more apt to vote for one political party over another? It really shouldn't.

“Fried” and true method? You’ve gotta love the autocorrect functionality on here. 😂😂😂

Thanks…we’re definitely going to see. I find this case, surrounding a national election, to be patently ridiculous. It opens a Pandora’s box that should’ve remained closed. This has to be left to the federal courts. I’ll save you the response….we can agree to disagree.

So then they’re going to need to PROVE this claim about other states? Does Fulton County even have standing to conduct and investigation in other states? (Honest question.)

“Steaks”? 😂 The autocorrect on here really needs some serious fine tuning.

Goose 1. I’m not arguing about ‘how it works’. I’m demonstrating what the defense will look like. 2. Which would not have changed the national election. Thanks

With all due respect….only to a point. The local school district is a branch of the STATE government. They simply cannot teach (or not teach) whatever they want. That is not the job of your local school board. Their primary role is to be the oversight body of your local Superintendent of Schools who works at the will of the Board.

Maybe you should watch the nationally televised interview he gave on this EXACT topic, instead of making a lot of assumptions. 😉

And as I said in my other post, unless Fulton County can prove that the same illegality was simultaneously being pursued in dozens of other critical counties at the exact same time then this case seems to be more about “look at how important we are” than anything else. This was NOT a local election. Finding votes in Fulton County would not have changed the outcome of a national election.

On that we agree. 👍

Thanks. I’m certainly aware of that, and you can certainly work to transform it…. but that’s simply NOT how our country’s civic structure is designed to work.

People need to take a basic civics class. They have no idea how our government works.

I certainly can imagine that. But…in general, the conservative point of view is NOT that control be should be whittled down to the very most local level. (ie: street, neighborhood, house) On the topic of education conservatives understand that in most, if not all states K12 Education is under State authority. For example each local school district doesn’t write their own textbooks. This basic principle is why conservatives oppose the federal Department of Education. And the Governor of Florida understands this. When asked if he would continue with his current stance and actions on education should he become President, his answer has been ‘no’ he would not be the Chief Executive of education if elected President.

Ugh! I’m amazed at how little people know about the governmental structure of the country they live in. K12 education is an arm of the State, not county, town, or city, government. When elected as a school board member you immediately take a governance class and learn that.

No it’s not! Asking to “create” votes may be illegal but asking to “find” votes could be attributed to every politician who’s ever run for any office anywhere.

I’m not sure you understand. The conservative approach is NOT that local officials can do whatever they want. So until the Governor is stripped of his/her standing authority then the local board’s authority has limitations. This is similar to the Texas border issues. Conservatives understand that while Texas would like to stop the flow of illegal border crossings, they also know it’s the federal government that currently has authority over the border. Make sense?

I’m not a lawyer but this appears to be a ridiculous case. Georgia being swung to Trump would not have resulted in him becoming the President, so until these nitwits in Fulton County can find similar schemes being worked in the other critical battleground states then they really need to get over themselves. Flipping Fulton County wouldn’t have overturned the election. This seems akin to saying Trump planned to overthrow the government with a guy dressed like a bison at the tip of the spear.

Frank: It’s actually, not probably, correct. The conservative viewpoint is that yes local control is generally better than distant control but not when local control harms kids, or breaks the law, or goes against standing regulations. In other words it’s not the Wild West where you can do whatever you want.

I’m guessing it’s because the Governor is the lead executive officer when it comes to K12 Education in all States. In a similar way all school boards have legal counsel sitting at the Dias telling them what they can and can’t do. School board members aren’t expected to know all of the ins and outs of the legal system.

Back away from the bottle Hawk. It’s late back there.

There’s a huge difference between keeping your sense of humor and delighting in the daily drama of really nasty politics.

I’m not sure who anybody on here is, nor do I really want to know….but geez people need to approach everything on here with a sense of humor. This place has the tedious tendency to become a death match on every single subject. As if the world’s problems are going to be solved on a chat room linked to the Buffalo Bills!

Wait….were you the goofy stoner kid sitting next to me? You should’ve stayed. The second half of the semester was way easier. We all wondered where you went. 😉
