#2 Bit of a Tobacco Nazi too. Appears he enjoys it...

Superintendent Dr. Stewart Hobbs said Sampson County hired the N.C. School Board Association to revise the county's entire policy manual which will include the new no-smoking policy, which will not be implemented until August 2008.

"It's tobacco free, period. Nobody can smoke on campus. Teachers and staff are currently allowed to smoke in designated areas. When the law comes into effect those designated areas will be removed," he said.

Dr. Hobbs said his main concern is enforcement.

"We can control our staff, but guests and visitors are a different story," he said.

But I'll bet he's working on it. Maybe a cattle prod...

#4 An excerpt from the Dunn, NC Daily Record :

Sampson County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Stewart Hobbs said the ban is not countywide, but was instituted by the Hobbton High School Principal Wesley Johnson in response to flags of foreign countries that were being worn as gang symbols.

There's a big and growing problem with hispanic gangs in NC. The county just settled a major freedom-of-speech lawsuit at the same high school.

#5 Its really pretty simple. The *ONLY* permissable flag is the USA flag, Old Glory, the Red-White & Blue, A Grand Ole Flag. What about honoring our country through our flag don't you understand you over educated humanist coward?

#11 Immediately my thought too, JiB!

Name me one, JUST ONE, other freakin' nation in this world that would do this to it's own? I mean, can you imagine Mexico, France, Britain, or even the African nations banning their own flag, because they didn't want to choose it above others? If we can't have term limits for politicians, at least give it to us for school board members.

#12 educators didnt want to be forced to pick and choose which flags should be permissible.

Just another sterling example of how self-loathing and anti-Americanism permeates our academic institutions. It's as if they're ashamed to quickly choose the American flag above all others. As if they cannot justify such patriotic feelings to themselves. How vile.

#13 We have recall in California to deal with School Boards who won't deal with a Superintendant like this. What about NC?
