Democracy is under assault in Carteret County by seven all white, all male, all Republican, Tea Party controlled and dominated County Commissioners. Citizens of this county deserve better. And, come November, there will be retribution!

I was actively involved in having the BOE changed from partisan to non-partisan. I am against it becoming partisan again without the voters making the decision. The election should be moved to the November election. I never understood the logic behind placing it in the primary elections.

What justification is there for partisanship in schools?!

The process by which this switch to a partisan school board denied the citizens of Carteret County to vote, and overturned an overwhelming vote, over 4 to 1 in favor of a non-partisan school board in 1992. This is outright abuse of the powers entrusted to the County commissioners, and needs to be returned to the 1992 outcome.

I believe the citizens of Carteret County have the right to vote on whether their School Board is partisan or not.

I never heard of a partisan school board before this and the politics done by Carteret County Commissioners is so dirty. Stop trying to force people to think like you.

Politics should not have a place in making school decisions. People have already spoken out against doing this once already and the commissioners changed it on their own. I want non partisan school board elections.
