If GOD doesn’t destroy the Cleveland County Library, CCS and the Cleveland County GOP Executive Committee; He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an APOLOGY!!! God will have to do it because the Commissioners refuse to!! Educational Disaster at Cleveland County Schools!! Report, commentary and WWJD analysis by Robert A.

Saturday June 18, 2022 was just that kind of day that shows what Cleveland County is made of. And NOOOooobody should be proud!!

The brouhaha started at 10:00 AM with the CLOSED-DOOR Meeting of the Cleveland County GOP Executive Committee that was held at the Cleveland County Library in Shelby at 10 AM. That meeting agenda was also secret, if there was a “published” agenda at all. One has to wonder why the CCGOP Executive Committee has to meet in secret and NOT allow the Rank and File Republicans to even sit there silently and listen to what goes on. Robert A will say right now that he is a Registered Republican under State Law but “stands apart” from the Cleveland County GOP. Robert A is a “Trump Conservative” Republican, like most of us here in Cleveland County who believes that America, including Cleveland County, can be made GREAT again. Trump Republicans don’t need to meet in secret, to hide behind closed doors and put out lies and deception as a means to make ourselves sound respectable to those that don’t know us. We don’t need to lower ourselves into deception, into believing that a person has to go “low” to make ourselves seem “high and mighty” to strangers.

For that reason, Robert A decided NOT to “crash” the CCGOP Executive Board meeting and make them “throw” him out, as he knew they would. Robert A would not give them a reason to change, in any way, what they were about to do. Or NOT to do. Robert A would find out, soon enough, what happened at that secret meeting, as he always does. And then make his report.

School Board Candidate Ronnie Grigg had a different situation. Mr. Grigg, along with Dr. Danny Blanton, had been wrongly attacked by members of the CCGOP Executive Committee in ways that were clearly against the Plan of Organization adopted by the CCGOP. Mr. Grigg had a valid complaint that rightly should have been heard by the CCGOP Executive Committee and disciplinary actions against certain CCGOP Executive Board members should have been meted out. Quickly and severely. That didn’t happen.

Instead, Mr. Ronnie Grigg was not allowed into the meeting at all. Dr. Blanton was not allowed to speak in detail. What Dr. Blanton did get to say was met with fake denial and threats upon himself, for the GOP Executive Board was set to do nothing at all, right from the very beginning when Dennis Bailey, Kevin Whisnant, Robert “Luke” Queen, Ron Humphries and other GOP Executive Board members conspired against Dr. Danny Blanton’s re-election Campaign in ways that were totally in disregard and violated the CCGOP’s Plan of Organization. But, don’t believe Robert A. Look up the CCGOP Plan of Organization for yourself. Page 37 in particular. Every one of those Executive Board members who participated in that continuing planned scheme, AND those that allowed it to happen, disqualified themselves from any leadership position in the CCGOP. Period. No questions allowed. Robert A stands behind his previous recommendation for the 2022 School Board General Election in November. Double-Shot vote for Dr. Danny Blanton and Ronnie Grigg ONLY for those available School Board positions.

But that was NOT the only scandal. A bigger and more of a MAJOR SCANDAL, a WIDENING SCANDAL, was discovered at the Cleveland County Library in Shelby on that fateful day-Saturday, June 18, 2022.

Commissioner Doug Brides, a CCGOP Executive Board member, who also serves on the Cleveland County Library Board, was on the way to that 10 AM meeting when he passed by a kiosk (a four sided stand of book shelves) that must have contained at least 50 hard back books that all extolled the merits of Homosexuality. A veritable guide to all kinds of perversion and deviant sexual behavior that stood no more than three baby steps from the main office area of the Library. It was “Gay Pride” Month at the Library and the Library went all-in with the program. At TAXPAYERS expense.

Commissioner Bridges picked up one of those books filled with filth and headed for the Meeting Room where all the other CCGOP Executive Board members were to meet. At the door, an alarm went off as Commissioner Bridges had not checked out that book. So, Bridges returned the offending book to the kiosk and went into the meeting room without the book, but told everybody about his discovery.

Good for Commissioner Bridges for sounding the alarm. BAD for Commissioner Bridges because he was on the Library Board and the Library Board had allowed large sums of Taxpayer money to be spent on the purchase of such literary “filth,” apparently without a review of the Library Board/ to begin with. And place it center-stage in the Library where all the kids in kids’ programs at the Library would see them.

It was the Monday afterward that Robert A was made aware that there were things at the Shelby Library that he needed to see. That there were Gay Pride books in well-travelled places at the Library. (Not like in the back rooms of “Dirty Book Stores.”) Along with the bits of information about the sorry state of affairs within the CCGOP Executive Committee.

So, that following Tuesday Morning, bright and early, Robert A walks through the front doors of the Cleveland County Library in Shelby NC. The County with over 200 Christian Churches.

As usual, when on such a mission, Robert A stands there inside the front doors, mapping out his search route. He would start on the left and work his way around the outside perimeter and then continue that pattern until he gets to the center.

The Kid’s Library section was right there at the front on the left, so Robert A starts there.

Robert A, in his many travels to the Shelby Library, had never gone into the Kids section. Mostly because the place where the Kid’s section is located is usually full of kids running around (the reason the Kid’s Library is behind windowed walls–to keep down the noise) and secondly, the documents he is usually looking for would NOT be located in the Kid’s section to begin with. Robert A, on this day saw that the Kid’s section was empty as it was still early, AND, Robert A had heard some complaints coming out of a local Christian Church School that the books in the Shelby Library’s Kid’s section were not fit for children to read. So, Robert A decided to start right there in the Kid’s section.

Robert A plotted out his search pattern, and spent a good two+ hours going through the Kid’s books. In shocked disbelief. What Robert A found was worse that he had ever imagined possible right here in Cleveland County. With Christian Churches on almost every corner. Something BAD had happened right under the noses of the majority of Cleveland County citizens, Especially the majority of parents who were NOT paying attention to the filth, reverse racism and sexual depravity their children were being subjected to every day. “Every day” meaning that this Cleveland County Library had to be a reflection of what was contained in the 29 Cleveland County Schools Libraries (Now called “Media Centers”) scattered out around Cleveland County.

This would NOT be Robert A’s last shocking discovery of the day.

At this point, Robert A will note that this article, near the end, will directly expose, by name, those most responsible for the sad and sorry indoctrination of the children of Cleveland County into a world of filth, perversion, divisiveness, lies, deceptions and so-called political-correctness. YOU will recognize many of these names. You will also recognize why our vulnerable children have become so abused, misused and mistreated emotionally and academically. Stay tuned for that and go look in the Mirror to see the fool that is a big part of this problem. The fool that refuses to see. The fool who refuses to get involved. The fool that doesn’t vote, or even knows the best candidates to vote for if he (or she) does vote. The fool who refuses to protect our most precious commodity. Our Children. Our future. Our Heritage. Read ON!! YOU will NOT like what you are about to learn.

Robert A takes two steps inside the Cleveland County Library (That’s the name on the plague on the outside wall to the Left of the entrance doors.) Kids Section and steps up to the kiosk directly in front of him. All filled with books, NEW books, with bright and shiny kid’s smiling faces. Mostly bright and shiny black and brown faced kid’s smiling faces.

The first book Robert A picks up in the Kids Section is titled “Our Skin: A First Conversation about Race.” Robert A thumbs through this book and makes notes:
CRT (Critical Race Theory) “incarnated” for children.
Teachers-Race mixing and racism
Teachers-White people get more power and are treated better than everybody else
Racism happens in lots of big and small ways. It is all around us even if we don’t always notice it
Advocates speaking out, protests are progress and Black Lives Matter

In another book title Brandon Speaks Out, a black kid that stutters is very much positively influenced by President Joe Biden. Robert A didn’t get the message, if there was one on this passage. But when he picked up a book titled America ABC, he noticed that “A” was for Abraham Lincoln, “M” was for Martin Luther King, Jr. “X” was for Malcolm X “W” was for the White House. Robert A would have thought that at least W would stand for George Washington. Our FIRST President. So, Robert A thumbed back through the book carefully and found that, although Abraham Lincoln was mentioned, NO other white person was mentioned. No George Washington, No Thomas Jefferson. No Patrick McHenry. No JFK. No Franklin Roosevelt. Nobody white except Abe Lincoln.

There was a book titled Together We March: 15 Protest Movements that marched into History.

Another Book titled “My Single Parent.” Robert A did not even pick up that book. Remembering that this was a children’s book but a grown-up’s (society) problem to solve.

Then there was tis book. “Hear My Voice: The Testimony of children detained at the Southern Border.” Again, a kid’s book that requires a grown-up (society) solutions.

So, why were these kinds of books filling up the Cleveland County Library’s Kid’s Section???

Then, Robert A began noticing a common thread to the books he was looking at.
1.The majority of the books examined started out like a Dr. Seuss book. A silly name for a smiling cartoon animal character that is about to learn a valuable lesson.
2.The first few pages cast the image of a positive learning experience for the readers-kids.
3.About midway, the lessons became more like indoctrination. There were social issues like racism, Global Warming, Protesting and social upheavals were good and the “right” things to do, Black Lives Matter, Critical Race Theory, White Supremacy, Social and Emotional learning, Anything divisive. Nothing about building a child’s character, critical thinking skills, finding the truth of the matter, doing good deeds, honoring your father AND mother, Respecting your elders, obedience at home and at school, and other such good and proper things.
4.Toward the end, the kids were led to believe that Socialism would save the day for a decrepit, racist and white supremist America. And a good and wonderful socialist government and socialist leadership would ultimately cure what ails America.

Folks, as Robert A made my way around the Library’s Kids Section ne tried to make sure he looked at a good cross-section of the books on the Kiosks and in the shelves too. A representative sample. There were literally hundreds and maybe thousands of children’s books. So, I made an effort to seek out kid’s books that might be more like what a reasonable person would consider appropriate for a kid’s book. Books that taught patriotism. Books that taught doing good deeds. Like helping an elderly person carry their groceries or cross the street. Something about seeking out a Policeman for help finding your way if you were a kid and had lost your way. Books about Good behavior, bravery and good citizenship. None of that was to be found by Robert A, who made a good faith effort to look for those things too.

So, Robert A upped the ante. He began looking all around for children’s Bible Stories. What he found was a big fat ZERO. Nothing. NADA!!!

Folks, remember, this was only Robert A’s secondary purpose for his trip to the Shelby Library. He had not even began looking into his primary purpose. So, he set off to making his primary search. Looking for the “Gay Pride” stuff that he had been told about.

Robert A, upon leaving the Kid’s Section, continued with his clockwise search of the Library premises. He passed the East side of the Library’s center book checkout area where he picked up a copy of The Spark. A magazine from the Cleveland County Library System. This will be useful as it identifies the Library Board Members and the “Friends of the Library.” This first clockwise sweep half way around the library hadn’t turn up much evidence of an excessive LBGTQ-XYZ presence. Although that would soon change.

About the start of that second half of that first clockwise swing around the Library, Robert A ran into Commissioner Deb Hardin. Commissioner Hardin was in attendance at the previous Saturday’s CCGOP Executive Committee meeting and knew full well of the discovery of the perverted LBGTQ-XYZ material. She correctly believed that Robert A was there to see for himself about that very same thing. Then Robert A informed Commissioner Hardin about his horrific findings in the Kids Section of the Library. Commissioner Hardin told Robert A that she would go look in the Kid’s Section for herself.

After a bit more conversation with Commissioner Hardin, Robert A was off again on his route. About 30 seconds later, Robert A found want he was looking for. Robert A had almost tripped over the kiosk at the front side of the book checkout area and there it was in all of its visual and sinful disgrace. A kiosk with row after row, stack after stack and side after side with everything one would ever want to know about homosexual perversion. Right there in the middle of the library, right there, on the beaten path, where rows of small children, led by adults, were passing. It was early afternoon by then and schools were out. So, the kids were brought in for Library programs. And for exposure to all those dirty books and the kids wondering what all that stuff on the book covers meant. What this Lesbian and Queer and Transgender stuff was all about. All this made Robert A very, very unhappy, disappointed and P.O.’d all at the same time. Robert A went back to where Commissioner Deb Hardin was located and told her that he had just discovered the obvious “stuff” that had set off Commissioner Doug Bridges, Deb Harding and a few others at the Saturday’s CCGOP Executive Committee meeting. Although NOTHING to remove the obscene and indoctrinational CRT stuff had been taken down. All was still there and the Library was operating full speed ahead. Like there was nothing wrong.

Now, for a list of the Cleveland County Library Advisory Board Members: (Who obviously thought that there was nothing wrong here. Or didn’t know what was going on. One could make a good argument that those that truly didn’t know (if any) were the worst violators of the public trust.

Folks, Now you ALL know what the problem is and who is directly responsible. Also, remember that Commissioners Doug Bridges, Deb Hardin, Johnny Hutchins, Ronnie Whetstine, and Kevin Gordon know about this. As well as most of the School Board Members (Robert “Luke” Queen especially as Luke has lied repeatedly about Critical Race Theory and Homo stuff being taught at CCS), Dennis Bailey, Kevin Whisnant, Pam Keller and many others too.)

Also note that Friends of the Library members Roger Harris, Richard Hooker and Shearra Miller were long-time Cleveland County School Board members until they were defeated in the 2020 School Board Elections. Therefore, one has to conclude that the Library/Media Centers at all Cleveland County Schools are ALL filled, probably saturated with the same kinds of books that Robert A just discovered at the Shelby Library. Considering all this and putting 2+2 together equals 4 into the context of the CCS hidden data, such as only 46% of graduating students at CCS are proficient to the 9th Grade level in reading, writing and arithmetic. With NO improvement in sight. Such as this indicates an EDUCATIONAL DISASTER HERE in Cleveland County!!!

Now, it is Friday, July 1, 2022-exactly 7 days after the discovery and there are ZERO signs that anybody is doing anything about the indoctrination of children and their unnecessary exposure to the many varieties of perversion titled LBGTQ-XYZ-Gay Pride stuff. At School and at the library. Is this just another cover-up?? Just say nothing and this scandal will just go away??? Like all the rest!!!

There is No news of the Commissioners doing anything. The School Board is silent, although they called a secret Special Called Session this past Wednesday, June 29, 2022 at 11:30 PM and didn’t notify anybody. Even though a Notification is required by North Carolina Law. According to the meeting agenda that was secretly inserted into the School Board’s document files, there was nothing “Special” about this Called Meeting except maybe the Closed-Door session containing a lawsuit against the School Board filed by Luke Queen’s XYZ paramour. Nothing about the indoctrination of students and the time taken by the indoctrination and perversion away from the studies of reading, writing and arithmetic.

Folks, Now, it is time for a WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) analysis. And a disclosure of What would Robert A do if he were a Cleveland County Commissioner??? This would be in order considering that some folks are encouraging Robert A to run for that office in 2024. AND Robert A is thinking hard about that possibility

However, as this report has reached well over 3,000 words and that WWJD and WW-Robert A do analysis on this very complex issue would be almost as long.

So, Robert A will “pause” this article, let you take a short break and then finish up in Part II of this subject article.

Stay Tuned. YOU are about to read about an innovative and unique solution to a serious problem here in Cleveland County. And, Robert A believes GOD the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Ghost too, would approve of this solution. And so should the taxpayers and parents of Cleveland County.
