They need to buy up as much property on the beach and across the road on 30a and make more parking lots and public beaches. I did hear the county was buy the property near Stinky's. Is this true?

Not sure. But they sure missed a golden opportunity across from Ft. Panic.

Bottom line...It is NOT the Governments JOB to teach a child to pray. That's a PARENTS job!! That's the Churches role in children's lives and it's a parents job to get them to the Church on time.

And it's not the federal governments job to be involved in schools AT ALL.
Pretty sure the 10th admendment covers that. (Since the constitution card was played).

I can think of 600,000 reasons not to vote for Cindy.

Name them ALL please.

Talk about a healthy debate...

Another misnomer...

The school system in Florida (Nationally actually) receive federal subsidies from the Unites States Department of Education. It is a Cabinet level department of the United States Government....hence their involvement.

The Department of Education.

Indeed.

One of the many things Jimmy Carter did was gift us with the US Dept. of Education. As was pointed out nothing in the Constitution gives the federal government the right to tell us how to educate our children. That should entirely be the business of the states. This is just another example of the fact that elections have consequences. Once you elect a dud and they have a chance to foist on us their dud policies and programs you just about cannot get rid of them. There is nothing harder to kill than a government program.

By the same token Danny...nothing gives the State the authority to indoctrinate children in the ways of religion.

My point in any of this was two fold actually, prayer has not been removed from the public school system as some would have others believe and the government has no business teaching any child about religion. It's a parents job!

To get this back on track my reason for even bringing it up was to show the corruption in Walton County. It's not quite that blatant now but it's still around.

Excellent and factual post.

And it appears we have gone from "indoctrinating" our children with morals, discipline, manners, respect for the elders, the rule of law, and others...
To "indoctrinating" them with political correctness, selfishness, narcissist, celebrated bad behavior and anarchy.

They are considering it. Requires appraisals among other things. The offer was $8.5MM for the beach parcels plus 2 across 30A to the west of Stinky's. The 2 north of 30A were offered up as potential parking, but there may issues with creating parking there due to the lake area behind Stinky's.
