Didn’t Ralph Davenport run against Parker last time as a Constitution Party candidate? If memory serves, Davenport is for school choice and the district chose Parker. Davenport is a Christian who takes his oath of office seriously and evidently made some of the “good ole boys” angry. Will we ever learn to vote for principle over party?

Unfortunately the corruption in our government is a tangled web of deception involving even more than just George Soros.
I’d like to recommend reading a least one of the following books before the November election. These books document an agenda that will explain how America got to this point, and will give the reader a better understanding of the forces striving to destroy the nation. Once you understand, you must take action by telling others.

Comment on SC School Choice Bill H. 4576 Summary by Tom

Anybody taken a look at Wake County NC. I went to NC State and student taught at a middle school in the county. They have a school choice program within the district using magnet schools. They couldn’t bus students to force desegregation, or just build a new school in the neighborhoods of of one ethnic group.

What Wake County did was build a magnet school for say Engineering and Technology, in a LOW INCOME area. It was big enough to serve the locals, but also big enough to accept applicants to the school. So in essence it was desegregation by choice and not force, because parents would want they students going to a school that focused on their child’s interest and provided and good education. If you live a certain distance you couldn’t ride the bus, but they had a quasi-taxi service that transported those few long distance kids. I had some for the opposite end of the county (30-45 drive in a car, not bus). While I was their Wake county was one of the top 3 school district in the Nation.
My Middle school was and International Baccalaureate School, so diversity was celebrated and learned. I had kids from South East Asia, actual Africans, and lots of Western Europeans students along with American kids. Don’t know if we have that much concentrated diversity in the upstate or low country, but it work and worked well.
They didn’t do it by race with is socially unacceptable, they tried to focus on economic inequalities.

Mr.Parker is again,confused. He believes that he is able to tell everyone what is good for them. This is unacceptable for a Republican. To say that any school is a right-fit for everyone is being either out of touch with reality, or someone is footing the bill for re-election. Sounds like a typical Democrat. They are the party of, “I will tell you what is best for you,” We don’t need these types representing the Republican Party. Freedom of Choice was the rallying cry for the American Revolution and should still ring clear in the Republican Party. This is the reason the Tea Parties were formed all over the country. Declaration of Independence and the Constitution – Love them, live them,let them guide our leadership.

Have Steve Parker read the SCGOP platform that clearly states the Republican party in SC is for School Choice. Chad Connelly is representing SC Republican Policy and therefore standing on principle, which is more than I can say for Mr. Parker.
