From Mr. Poston:
In my January 13 (21024) post about the utter hypocrisy, ineptitude, and outright stupidity of some of the current Cleveland County Board of Education (CCBOE) members, I wrote about the CCBOE attorney, Jonathon Sink, being asked by his majesty’s puppet, Joel Shores, to give a LEGAL OPINION about the LEGAL definition of the word ”shall” and his majesty allowed attorney sink to give attorney Sink’s LEGAL OPINION as to the LEGAL definition of the word “shall.”
However, twice when attorney Sink was asked to give an OPINION about something else by two of CBIC’s fellow board members, his majesty would not allow attorney Sink to speak, stating that attorney ADVICE must be given in closed session. As I very clearly stated in my January 13 post, and as very clearly stated by the two other board members, attorney Sink WAS NOT asked for attorney Sink’s ADVICE, attorney Sink was asked for an OPINION but because CBIC Queen did not want the public to hear attorney Sink’s OPNION, CBIC Queen shut attorney Sink down. Attorney Sink even volunteered to give attorney Sink’s OPINION but his majesty would not allow it.
I would think the person that graduated from law school would know better than a sitting king and CBIC who had not been to law school, know what opinions are and what opinions are not appropriate to give in public about.
Well now, in perusing some of the previous CCBOE meeting broadcasts I ran across something remarkably interesting during the May 30, 2023, meeting. A “prank,” actually the crime of criminal mischief, had just occurred at Burns High School. His majesty filled the auditorium with Burns High students, I suspect many of whom were the perpetrators of the crime, and supporters of the crime brushed aside by his majesty as only a prank.
Apparently, Queen had been accused of some sort of wrongdoing and his majesty took his three minutes of board member comments toward the end of the meeting to defend himself.
After presenting his defense and accusing a Cleveland County Community College Board of Trustees (CCCBOT) member (Kenneth Ledford-who is presently running for the CCS School Board himself and has confirmed this account) of having violated CCCBOT code of ethics in the process, his majesty’s puppet, vice chair and his majesty’s sidekick, Joel Shoes called CCBOE attorney Leigha Sink to the podium and asked attorney Sink to give attorney Sink’s LEGAL OPINION as to whether his majesty had violated any code of ethics or rules. Since attorney Sink’s LEGAL OPINION was that his majesty had done no wrong, attorney Sink was allowed to give attorney Sink’s LEGAL OPINION.
HYPOCRISY AT ITS FINEST!!!!!
There it is again folks, just another example of unilaterally concocted and unilaterally imposed rules for thee but not for me and my bleating sheep herd from his majesty and CBIC King Robert Queen.
Editor’s Note II: Additional research about CCS School Board Chairman Robert Queen, Joel Shores, Rodney Fitch, Ron Humphries, Greg Taylor, and Walter Scott Spurling’s actions, that sprang from their May 30, 2023 phony “hearing” that resulted in a “Censure” and “‘punishment” of two other CCS School Board members, were illegal according to North Carolina Law and Unethical according to the CCS School Boards own Ethical Behavior Policies.
