• A Lesson On Trusting the Police

Policing the Police," the Gazette's recent series by Gary Harki, brought to mind an incident with the State Police that happened 30 years ago. I was a teacher at Duval High School in Lincoln County. My wife and I along with other members of Parents for Better Schools attended several Lincoln County Board of Education meetings and questioned the way the board was spending its money.

• Our Views: ; About Schools in Lincoln County; the Overriding Issue Remains Their Effectiveness for Students

MEMBERS of the Lincoln County Board of Education want Kenna Seal, who heads the state office that holds county school systems accountable, barred from taking part in a review of the Lincoln County schools. Some contend he is biased against Lincoln County and that his use of the phrase "four-wheel-riding, dope-smoking, alcoholic rednecks" in a meeting with Lincoln school officials was aimed at Lincoln County residents. They demand an apology.
