It's Saturday morning...I'm trying to digest what I've heard on the news and through the grapevine and looking forward to reading the Post and Courier article on the Buist lawsuit.
Understanding Judge Scarborough had a child who attended Buist Academy, I admit I wasn't surprised by his ruling and I agreed with most of the article. We know Buist Academy was created to show the Justice Department we could, once again, integrate a District 20 school. We know John Graham Altman, among other CCSD board members, told District 20 board members that CCSD would pull the funding for Buist if District 20 didn't agree on it being a county-wide school. We even remember how Alice Paylor, CCSD's current attorney, met behind closed doors to agree to a "list" with the District 20 board. Then, Robert New and some other community members filed a lawsuit because that meeting was held in executive session and violated FOIA. We also know Robert Rosen, CCSD's attorney, represented the District 20 board in that lawsuit. Good for them, considering his associate helped them violate it.
We know the District 20 community was outraged - has BEEN outraged since 1985 on Buist being a county-wide magnet school.
So with all of that being said, did Dr. McGinley really say Buist's "rigorous academic environment can and should be replicated within the next 18 months"??
Well, dog-gone, gee whiz, Dr. McGinley, what have we been waiting 25 years for? You're the savior we've been looking for!! Now my great grandchildren have a chance at a decent education!

I wonder how we will know it's been replicated? Oh--I know, McGinley will tell us.
Yeah, she also said she hopes the "decision settles what has been a time-consuming and distracting issue for the school's principal...Buist was intended to be a countywide school, and residents see it as a countywide school."
We know, Sallie needs to get back to planting trees with the mayor and covering up racial slurs from her faculty and students. Other than that, she's not doing anything productive at the school but bringing it down. As far as "residents" seeing it as a countywide school? Which residents? The residents of District 20 definitely don't. Man, you can kick 'em when they're down, can't you Dr. McG?
C'mon people, this bs wouldn't last a day in Mt. Pleasant.
You're right...it wouldn't last a day in Mt. Pleasant and that's why we still have serious problems with racial relations in this town.
I really was hoping Dr. McGinley would stand up to the big board and prove she was better than all of this...
