Two good government items that didn't make the paper

Anyone interested in civic engagement and getting a smile, you can't miss these two items from Inside Scoop about the Guilford commissioners meeting last night.

This one reminds us that race continues to be these folks' favorite topic.

This one, well, it makes you wonder why Steve would insult a school in his own district. Updated correction: Andrews is in Bruce Davis' district. Steve Arnold represents another area of High Point.

Steve may have insulted some, but not me. The truth can sting a bit at times. But the truth is that Andrews is becoming a hostile environment with or without comments like Steve's.

Maybe his comment will start some real discussion on the matter of High Point High Schools. Dr. Grier's little plan didn't work. He thought he could force the school down the throats of students not zoned to go there, he assumed that a more "diverse" environment would just miraculously fix the underlying problems...guess his "plan" has come back to bit him.

NOW is the time for the school administration to address the real problems. They need a REAL "no tolerance" policy to rid the school of those that have no desire to learn. This will give all the others a real learning environment.

It's a no-brainer. It's time to take our schools back.
