"Students are nominated based on specific areas of academic or performing-arts excellence..."
So what does a seminar on homosexuality, taught by gay activists, have to do with furthering academic or performing arts excellence?
I believe NC followed Arkansas's example for their Governor's School (started by Bill Clinton here). And yes, lots of homosexual and other liberal topic indoctrination. Very graphic videos and such have been shown, as well as speakers supporting vastly leftist points of view.
And now we see what happens when you have the types of peopel involved in said topic have contact with the kids....
Indeed! And, hopefully, to not warp their minds.
Nope. North Carolina's Governor's School was 100% the brain-child of our own Terry Sanford, and dates back to 1963, long before Slick entered the scene.
The North Carolina Governor's School progam has been the standard that other states followed, more or less, although not all of them stay strict to the original goal of fostering "contemporary thought."
Homeschooled kids do go to Governor's School as well. It's a summer "camp" for high school students.
LOL. That looks like a 4th grade science project.
Look at that cute contrasting construction paper behind the project paragraphs typed in an oversized font!
Great graphic.
Now we have a new risk at school- pedophiles celebrating their attacks out in the open during a tax funded party ,on public property~ with no limit of fresh victims.
I know the left is proud~they have worked very hard for this~*right of freedom*.
These things are designed to confuse and disorient the moral values of the young. They are leftist madrassas. Once values are dislodged from their anchors, they are up for grabs by the athiestic and immoral left. Confused youth are easily led.
I'll posit that you can't just be given a copy of, for instance, the Magna Carta and exect to glean its sheer profundity without loads of instruction regarding history and its place in time. In fact clauses such as "* (11) If a man dies owing money to Jews, his wife may have her dower and pay nothing towards the debt from it." may require a little explanation...
Sorry for the digression from the real topic of the Governor's School Buggery...
When did she put that presentation together, is this a 7th grade project? She looks older than 7th grade. What's with all the adhesive tape? I've seen much better presentations by other 7th graders. This certainly wasn't an adult/professional presentation, do you think?
BINGO. You should send that comment to the editor of the Winston-Salem Journal.
Now I think I get it...
Why does North Carolina seem to attract more liberals than other Southern States? Is it because of all the universities?
"Wiseman's identification lifted a veil of secrecy a week after a Forsyth District Court judge issued a sweeping gag order on the case that prevented the disclosure of the name of the accused, her employment status and the school where she taught. Judge Lisa Menefee, who signed the gag order last Friday, signed another order yesterday allowing documents to be unsealed. Her actions came hours after the Winston-Salem Journal filed a motion asking the N.C. Court of Appeals to overturn the protective order.(excerpt)
Menefee and Tom Keith, the Forsyth County district attorney, said that the appeal did not factor into the decision to overturn the gag order. Menefee declined to say why she revoked the order, and Keith said that it was no longer needed to protect the investigation.
Keith said he wanted to protect the case that he was trying to build. He said he knew that the case would lead to intense media coverage that would discourage witnesses from coming forward.
Also, the investigating officer, who specializes in investigating sex offenses, was tied up in a trial, he said.
"I'm not ready to turn over the prosecution of criminals in this county to the newspaper," Keith said, calling the order a "slight inconvenience" to the news media.
"I don't think the First Amendment trumps everything," Keith said.
Hugh Stevens, an attorney for the Journal, said that it is still unclear to him why the protective order, which the Journal's lawsuit called "manifestly unconstitutional," was written and why it was then rescinded.
"Obviously, we're certainly pleased that the judge has vacated her order, which we viewed as totally improper. But it's not clear why she did that," Stevens said.
Both school officials and Winston-Salem police said they did not request the gag order.
"There's a little bit of an implication ... that we were out there lobbying, cajoling," said Don Martin. the superintendent of the school system. "We didn't know that records could be sealed, quite frankly. That was on the DA's side, and of course there is an attorney for the alleged guilty party here."
Police were preparing a news release about the case when the protective order was issued, said Capt. Bill Cobb, a police spokesman. "We were not the petitioners on that (order)," he said.
A pound of flesh, Mr. Shylock?
