Lies and Deception at Monroe City School Board

It seems as if there is something new each day on Dupree, the Shellings, and the MCSB. There is an article in The Monroe Free Press concerning the attempt to place Cassandra at Wossman. In the article, Principal Sam Moore is quoted as saying he wrote a letter recommending the hiring of Cassandra Shelling because Dupree instructed him to do so. Moore is upset now, and rightfully so because Dupree will not man up and state the truth. Principal Moore also states that Dupree and Doug Lawrence have lied about Wossman having no TOPS students. Mr. Moore is now threatening to leave because of the lies and the manner in which his school is being treated by MCSB.

At some point the citizens and voters of Monroe should say enough. They should demand the rascals in charge at MCSB operate in a manner that addresses the needs of the students and not in a manner that feeds and inflates the egos of self-servicing individuals within the district. At this time MCSB has two main objectives; one, finalizing a contract for Dupree in order that he may fully consolidate his power, and two, find a job for Cassandra Shelling so Dupree can pay his debt to Brenda Shelling. You can be sure there are other objectives and agendas on the table that are designed to promote the interest of other board members and their friends and those will come to light. Sadly the interest of the students and the schools are nowhere near the top of any of those agendas. If you think otherwise, then ask yourself why the federal government had to step in and force a majority black school district with a majority black school board to give equal treatment to two high schools with majority or all black student populations.

The Dastardly Duo of Shelling and Dupree, and their toadies, Smith, McFarland, Handy, and Drayton are seeing their world and plans slowly begin to crumble. Mr. Moore’s statements in the above mentioned article might well be the straw that causes this monster with feet of clay to finally to collapse. For the sake of the students, teachers, and citizens of the district, I certainly hope this is the case.
