@FBIDirectorKash Thank you for not giving up. I was in Kish 9 months prior in 2006. When I heard of his disappearance I was shocked at how precautions were not taken ahead of time to protect him. He would have stood out and become a target for sure. Taxi drivers are sometimes security guards.

@AGAlanWilson Please look into how school districts are using assessment platforms like Mastery Connect which deny students and parents from viewing completed tests. Kids have no idea what questions they missed and neither do parents.

@FBIDirectorKash @FBI Thank you!!!

[Rachel Straka @RachelStraka]

@FBIDirectorKash Wow! I am shocked that they were even in a partnership with the FBI to begin with!

[Rachel Straka @RachelStraka]

@AGAlanWilson Mr. Wilson, there are some companies like Amira, a subset of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt state-adopted textbooks, that flat-out say parents do not have access to the reading materials. I challenged at the district level, and they point to the State. Now what?

[Rachel Straka @RachelStraka]

@AGAlanWilson Thank you so much! This is so timely. I am in Greenville County where my 3rd grade son goes to school. I have been asking for access to the Amira Reading Program and do not understand why parents cannot access the reading material. I am encouraged now to keep asking!

@davidwarner843 @plwarre Yes

@plwarre @davidwarner843 I don't know what kind of permission I need to share the book fair list, but it is a google doc. I am assuming that since it is public, it's completely public.

@KellyNashRadio @ellenfored @1035WVOC The school administration took action to allow book fairs back in after R 43-170. Inappropriate books came in, though, and were allowed to be sold on campuses. Anyone can listen to the Oct 22nd board mtg., time mark 1:01:55.

[Rachel Straka @RachelStraka]

@plwarre @davidwarner843 Thank you! I had no idea so many people would also be interested. These titles came into schools through a Scholastic book fair. Some titles, like The Hate U Give, are staples in certain school libraries anyway. Listen to Oct. 22nd board meeting at mark 1:01:55 about book fairs.

@JoeBReporter Oh, wow. The name Shawn Eubanks! His Dad was a superintendent of schools and helped select superintendents throughout the state. His sister was a principal in Spartanburg and then took my 6th grade ELA spot in Greenville. There are so many connections. This is interesting to me.

@AprilCromerSC @JayforHouse85 @NathanBallentin Yes, renaming happens. Look for DEI hiding in terms like "innovative leadership" or "transformative practices".
