Former gubernatorial chief-of-staff and veteran S.C. communications guru Bob McAlister took a break from making the big sweet dollars to pay our little website a visit over the weekend, penning a perspicacious and provocative column exclusively for FITS.
In addition to comparing Sic Willie to the Nazis (and then apologizing to the Nazis), McAlister’s column delved into the origins of South Carolina’s “minimally adequate” standard of public education.
