Murphy: District Must Be Honest With Public
By Kim Murphy || This is one of the hardest letters I’ve ever had to write.

Why? Well, it appears as though Lexington-Richland School District Five – one of the most cash-hungry, [...]
Giving Them “FITS”
Nothing (well … other than fantasizing about women with freckles) gives our founding editor more pleasure than driving South Carolina elected officials bonkers.

It’s Raining Spokespeople
It was nice to see La Socialista actually do its job the other day (for a change) and run with our scoop from last week about the latest South Carolina school teacher to be accused of sexual misconduct with students.
Of course they didn’t show us any love for breaking the story, and they failed to [...]
