Folks, if you think things at CCS are going well; If you think the CCS Superintendent is doing a great job and is honest and transparent; if you think School Board Chairman Robert Queen and his Rogue Republican sycophants are doing the job that YOU elected them to do? Then please don’t read this article and don’t watch the video at the end. Get ready for bed, take a Valium and have sweet dreams about the “Utopia” that you falsely think exists in Cleveland County. For your Utopia only exists in your mind and a shot of reality would probably be detrimental to your health and state of mind. And put YOU into a mental ward for a very long time.
The VIOLENCE and fighting at Kings Mountain High School had went on for this past Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday before Robert A’s article and video Thursday night exposed the riotous fighting and violence at Kings Mountain High School for the world to see. By Thursday, 215 students had been kept home by concerned parents. By Friday morning, yesterday, 616 students were absent because of the unchecked violence.
But Robert A’s article had reached the right places. Robert A had sent advanced copies to ALL the School Board, ALL the County Commissioners, The Cleveland County Sheriff and others. Robert A had suggested sending in an overwhelming presence of law enforcement personnel and taking control of Kings Mountain High School. And, by Friday Morning the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department and the KMPD showed up in force. Assisted by K-9 Officers.
Robert A would be glad to describe the results but a KMHS person sent in an email that said it all. It went like this
“To. Mr. Robert A. Williams
I am an ###### ####### at KMHS I currently #### ######. Today we have 616 students absent and we finally have real police present. Yesterday I only saw 2 officers here, but today we have both KM and County officers along with K9 here walking the halls. Please don’t disclose where this information came from. Also, the student who made the threat last semester on social media regarding KMHS is still attending school.

Also, last night, School Board Member Danny Blanton, who is always looking out for the best interest of CCS, Teachers, Students and taxpayers, had heard the news about KMHS. Not from CCS officials but from parents who called him with concerns. Dr. Blanton immediately sent a message to all the other Board Members suggesting that they ALL join him at Kings Mountain High School, under the Flag Pole, in a show of support for CCS, the teachers and Law Enforcement, who, up to this point, had been overwhelmed by the chaos, fighting and general pandemonium. CCS School Board Chairman Robert Queen immediately answered. NO, we are not resource officers. We have no business being there. School Board Member Greg Taylor chimed in. Agreeing with Robert Queen. School board member Ronnie Grigg also joined in supporting Danny Blanton. Except that Grigg had to go to work that next morning and could not participate.
Friday morning at 7:30 AM, Danny Blanton was on station, “alone” at the KMHS Flag Pole in plain sight of all the parents that had personally brought their children to school. Reports are that many KMHS parents, teachers and staff have personally thanked School board Member Danny Blanton for his support. And are also taking personal note of those that were absent.
Also, reports have come in that four fights had broken out earlier in the week at Shelby High School and CCS had not issued any press releases or even sent messages to the School Board about these incidents.
School Board Chairman Robert Queen and members Ron Humphries, Joel Shores, Greg Taylor, Rodney Fitch, Walter Scott Spurling and Aaron Bridges might think that THEY have the right to tell parents, taxpayers, citizens and voters that what goes on at Cleveland County Schools is NONE of our business. What THEY do about anything at CCS is their business and only their business. Robert A is here to tell them that WE citizens, parents, taxpayers and voters are making everything about CCS OUR business and THEY had better get used to it. And NOW, if not sooner!!!
Stay tuned folks. This ain’t over ‘til it’s over. WE have our eagle-eyes open and our telephones and computers on the ready. Every shenanigan, dirty trick, bad decision and bad acts by all School Board members, Commissioners and staff are being eyeballed for corruption. Any corruption found will be made available to the public for all to see. Enough is enough and NOW is the time to begin OUR search for candidates to defeat all those incumbents that need to be retired from office. Retire right now or be retired later at the ballot box, no matter.
Watch another video of the pandemonium at KMHS as shown HERE! Decide for yourself if things are all swell and peachy keen at CCS and KMHS/
