The citizens of Cleveland County were “snookered” into voting for Candidates to be on the school board who we thought to be gentlemen. We believed these men to have the students, teachers and extended staff at the forefront of their minds and they would act accordingly. How wrong we were! We have not elected gentlemen or men of integrity. We have elected real bullies to make up our Cleveland County School Board. Robert Queen is the “Kahuna” among them with Lapdogs Ron Humphries, Joel Shores, Rodney Fitch, Walter Scott Spurling, Aaron Bridges and Greg Taylor following close behind. The Lapdogs take their “marching orders” from their lead Kahuna Queen.
Queen along with the others have cut down Danny Blanton at every turn. Every good idea or motion that Danny makes is met with snooty and hostile remarks discounting his ideas. It’s no secret that Queen and Humphries do not like Danny and have tried to prevent him from being on the school board. Humphries attacks Danny by the training and with direction from Kahuna Queen and doesn’t have the faculty of perception to recognize that he’s being used. Even the newest elected school board members Aaron Bridges and (Walter) Scott Spurling have learned quickly to get in line with Kahuna Queen.
Folks, I think we all can agree that Kahuna Queen has a serious problem being that he can’t get along with the school board members unless they allow him to control them. His (Queen’s) aggressive, authoritative and menacing behavior toward citizens who come to appear before the board is evidence that something is amiss with Robert Queen. He has ordered a citizen from the auditorium after a board meeting was suspended! What authority did he have to do that? It was a public building with no business was being conducted at the time. I’m telling you-he-s a Bully. Too many times we have observed his (Robert Queen’s) aggression toward Danny Blanton to the point that he tried to bully Danny Blanton to the point that he tried to bully Danny into a physical altercation with him!
Is it any wonder why the school board doesn’t show any seriousness about student bullies in our schools when we have bullies running our school board!!??
We have seven (7) big bullies on the Cleveland County School Board running over our citizens who voted for them to be there. We shall NOT make that same mistake again!!
Sandra Stroud
Editor’s Note: Once again Ms. Sandra Stroud has hit the nail right square on the head. Especially in the statement above that states “Is it any wonder why the school board doesn’t show any seriousness about student bullies in our schools when we have bullies running our school board!!??.”
Also, some recent votes and statements from School Board Member Aaron Bridges shows what may be a bit of growing independence from “Kahuna” Robert Queen. Also, Aaron Bridges voted against Robert Queen for the School Board Chairmanship in what turned out to be a 5-4 vote for Queen when Queen was running unopposed. We will see if this opening of his eyes by Aaron Bridges continues or not. The CCS School Board has lots of big issues in the days, months and years ahead and the “lunatic-like” actions of Chairman Robert Queen are wearing very thin in the opinions of the most casual of observers in Cleveland County. Much less the “eagle eyes” of people like Ms. Sandra Stroud. Who is always an advocate for a good, responsible and a thrifty government.
The Genuine
Sandra P. Stroud
Ms. Sandra Stroud is a fearless Champion of right and proper government in Cleveland County and the US. When Prayer at the beginning of School Board Meetings was the issue, Sandra Stroud stood up and voiced her strong support in front of 600+ citizens. When Shelby Schools refused to teach a deaf child, Sandra Stroud single-handedly made Shelby Schools mend their ways. When the Cleveland County Commissioners surrendered to a Federal Lawsuit against them by agreeing to a settlement that was Un-Constitutional; Sandra Stroud put her name and money behind a Federal Lawsuit and took the Cleveland County Commissioners to the US Federal Courts in Washington, DC and made the Commissioners mend their cowardly ways. When Sandra Stroud sends me her messages, I publish them. Word for Word. Sometimes satire as well as prose. When Sandra Stroud speaks, Robert A listens. When Sandra Stroud writes, Robert A publishes. If there is a typo, misspelling or unclear language, that is Robert A’s, mistake, not Sandra Stroud.
Folks, there are more citizens like Sandra Stroud and Robert A in Cleveland County that want bullying stopped in our schools and in our School Board and education improved. We want no more corruption like what was found out about the Catawba Casino, the bribed sale of our hospital for 2 cents on the dollar, endless sales tax increase referendums, endless property revaluations where Cleveland County has deployed drones to peep into our bedroom windows looking for whatever it is that they can use to raise property taxes over. And it goes on and on.
Stay tuned folks. If you want the truth, the whole truth and justified and logical speculation, you will get it here and perhaps not anywhere else in the same detail and depth of understanding. Also, folks, if you want to throw YOUR 2 cents into our knowledge base, send it to Robert A. Your identity will be protected. It is completely understood that RETALIATION is alive and well in Cleveland County.
