A Viewer Writes.........Parkside High School (12-1-19)

When the story was publicly announced about Johnathan Eure, from Parkside High School, was released I thought his alleged relationship with a student was the whole story, which in itself is
HORRIBLE ! However, there is a HUGE coincidence or that wasn’t the end of the story. Students from Parkside have been saying there is 3 other employees at Parkside that have also been out / absent since the release of Mr. Eure’s alleged relations with a student . COINCEDENCE ??? The 3 other employees have not been back to Parkside since. My understanding of these possible truths are very disturbing to me. I have been told that 1 female math teacher, 1 female special education teacher, and 1 female teachers aide from Parkside have all been absent following Mr. Eure’s allegations. I looked on Parkside’s staff directory today and the 3 women are no longer in the directory. Hmmm…. VERY DISTURBING !

I saw on WBOC news the other night the poor communication the Superintendent gave us about the schools. Can she speak without reading her notes ? She continuously had to look down at her written speech, as she always does, and very seldom have I seen her look eye to eye with reporters. For no more information than she gives us you would think she could speak better. WE the parents NEED to be notified when allegations, truths, or information otherwise involving our school community is circling amongst our parents and students to better help OUR children ! How do we help our children if we are in the dark ?? The better the communication, better leadership, and better overall performance from our school board the better our community will be !

So, again I ask, Is the 3 MIA employees, other than Mr. Eure, from Parkside just a coincidence or is this information tangled up with the horrible alleged relationship with a student and Mr. Eure ???

Another Teacher Assaulted At Bennett Middle School (12-1-19)

Yesterday another teacher was assaulted and sent to the Hospital after being taken away in an ambulance. This was an assistant teacher. Interesting how this information has been covered up. What say you Board of Education?

Armchair Quarterbacks Never Win the Heisman Trophy

By Thornton Crowe

Two racial incidents caused a huge surge of concern in Salisbury over the last two weeks...

Once again, as predicted, the semester is now in it's exam phase, students will be leaving and Dr. Janet Dudley-Eschbach has skated through, unblemished. Unforgivably, she ignored your concerns here on Salisbury News as well as the potential escalation as a result of this race baiting tolerance policy the university has apparently adopted.

Yet, when I wrote an article about the local slumlords' financial abuse of SU students, one of her underlings wrote a long-winded apology, indicating she completely miss the article's point. With crickets over the recent incident, SU proved they're more worried about students making noise rather than any potential rise in white-black tensions in the community or on campus as a result of their mishandling.

In regards to PHS, reports indicate very few concerned parents bothered to attend last Monday's big PTA hoedown. Couldn't tear yourselves away from the idiot box long enough to voice your concern as a community over the violence in the high schools; however, you  vehemently complained about it here. Hint: The gratuitous three sheriffs seen at the school the following Monday cannot keep your kids safe when it involves a mob as seen on the posted video.

So your responses were just hot air hyperbole. Hence, this blatant apathy is probably the reason why WBOC and other media outlets don't even bother covering these stories. Why bother putting time, resources and effort into stories when the town folk don't really care about them?

You may poke fun at the Circumcision Crusaders out on Route 13 last week, but at least, they're making their voices heard. You don't have to picket to get yourselves heard but let's face it, keyboard warriors, you can't expect change when you don't bother to apply any pressure on those whom can make  change happen!

Should these racially-charged events continue or escalate, at this point, you have no one to blame but yourselves. You can't just let the world go on cruise control, complaining about it on a blog and then expect anything to change.

Therefore, while armchair quarterbacks never win a Heisman Trophy, silent wheels never get greased.
