MOULTRIE —
Dear editor:
Some administrators/teachers are not going to be fair and treat all students equally. It’s their word against the student’s.
The word of the teacher/administrator will always stick, which is not being fair. That’s basically saying to the students that they do not have a voice.
I advise all parents to make a full and thorough investigation yourself when your child is involved, right or wrong. You will be surprised what some people will do to cover themselves.
We as parents are our children’s voices because there are people in high places who feel as though they can talk to a child any way they want and manipulate them or the issue at hand and get away with it.
I have two children and I am always checking on mine. Wonder if it was the administrator, teacher or bus driver, or counselor’s child, would they always take the word of the adult who referred their child over their own?
When does a child have a chance to plead his case?
If a child is telling the truth, the administrator, teacher, bus driver or counselor’s word still stands?

Tribute to my dad
Dear editor:
Growing up in South Georgia every little girl thinks of their daddy as their prince; I am no different. And I believe his years of sacrifice, dedication and unconditional love for me is a story worth telling. - Rant and Rave for 05/21/13

Oh joy! The Turtle Man will return
Great news! The Turtle Man is coming back for another season on television!
And yes, I’m being a little facetious here. It’s a ridiculous show, but apparently it’s entertainment for some people. -
The kind of stuff that happens in dictatorships
Distrust of government secrecy has been elevated to an exceptional level with the disclosure the Justice Department covertly examined two months of Associated Press phone records to determine who leaked details to the AP about a foiled terrorist plot.

And would you like fries with that?
Most of us have seen the Chick-fil-A signs that urge us to “eat more chicken.” So would you ever expect to see one that says, “eat more crickets?”
