Dangerous: “With no exaggeration, this GOP healthcare bill is extremely dangerous for elderly, low income Americans in rural areas (Colquitt County). CBO estimates 24 million people losing health insurance … is this the great plan Trump voters were hoping for?

Who’s talking now?

“So who’s talking about fake news president got caught reading fake news, on believe it or not Breitbart News website, and he posted it on his Twitter account. Wow, Obama wiretapped his office in Trump Tower. The king of fake news got caught himself!

Applause

“Thanks to the sheriff’s department and Deputy Michael Cox and Investigator Randy Rakestraw for presenting a class on firearm safety and laws. We were even allowed to go to the shooting range and learned safety. This class will be taught again, and I highly recommend it! And it’s free!

Cherry picking

“The editorial in the Moultrie Observer stated the high school couldn’t cherry pick their students but the BOE allows certain schools like R.B. Wright and Gear to cherry pick their students, but they’re the best schools in the county! Is it just a coincidence that they are also some of the whitest and most elite kids in the county to?

Lawsuit?

“If Cox School is so good, why do all these teachers keep transferring out so they can teach their kids at schools like Funston, R.B. Wright and Sunset? We all know the reason but you people don’t want to admit it. Cox is a segregated school! I hear the word lawsuit coming forth!

A question 

“Do we still have schools in our system under the watchcare of the U.S. Justice Department stemming from the days of desegregation? Someone please address this. I know for many years we were under court order.

Leadership roles

“The picture on the front page is a perfect example of what’s wrong with Cox School. A white out-of-touch country man standing there with a black young man and a Mexican young man. We need a man and woman of color in a leadership role at Cox School, or we need to bus some white kids there.

Personal agendas

“After reading some of the rants about schools, it seems clear that the attacks are more about personal political agendas and less about the success of students.
