Ron DeSantis & SC School Choice Failure?

If this is they type of “leaders” Ron DeSantis surrounds himself with?

Published

on

SC School Choice UPDATE: Well … it looks like we are going to have some significant updates on School Choice in the coming weeks.

Unfortunately for K-12 children, School Choice specifically, and education generally, is the “example” (out of hundreds) we know best of political corruption in South Carolina … and it amazes people as to the massive levels that exist.

It only took the submission of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request two weeks ago … but we finally found out exactly how bad the government run SC School Choice program for K-12 kids with special needs (misnamed “Exceptional SC”) was performing.

After 5 months of tax credit fundraising … as of May 31st the 100% government appointed board has only raised $127,129 (out of an available $12 MILLION) in scholarship funds in 2023.  Even we were floored how bad it was.

The similar, but free-market / independent non-profit administered program in Georgia, raised $120 MILLION (out of an available $120 million) in scholarship funds for Georgia kids … in just the first 13 days in 2023.

This is literally the case study of why free-markets work … and 100% government solutions FAIL.


We have reached out to the board members of “Exceptional SC” offering help … with no real success as of yet. 

When reached by phone, board member Betsy Fanning, who is the Head of School at Trident Academy, simply stated that any discussion or acceptance of help was the decision of Edward Earwood as Chairman of “Exceptional SC”.  

[NOTE:  Trident Academy specializes in children with dyslexia and costs $32,975 per year, so wouldn’t an $11,000 scholarship be of great help to these families?]

A call to Chairman Earwood with the SC Association of Christian Schools was not immediately returned.

We did receive a returned phone call from the Director of the pro-Ron DeSantis Never Back Down PAC … who stated he was not interested in discussing any help … and promptly “backed down”, and hung up.   

Much more to come, but we have a crisis in SC School choice and something needs to change … ASAP.  


Why does the DeSantis connection matter?  As we know, many campaign “leaders”, if their candidate is successful, end up in government leadership & administration policy positions in the future.  

If this is they type of “leaders” Ron DeSantis surrounds himself with … “leaders” that actually DO BACK DOWN … we have a real problem for K-12 kids not just in SC … but nationwide. 

This is not just a random staff member … this is the actual SC State Director for the Ron DeSantis PAC.

Pickens – Setting the Record Straight – A VIDEO RESPONSE

Bob Fetterly – PCRP Chair 2023-2025

Published

YouTube (HERE) or Rumble (HERE)

We all know about the Drew McKissick shenanigans at the SCGOP State Convention back on May 3rd, 2025 with the “sneak attack” on the Pickens County Republican Party (PCRP) and the ultimate failure to seat the 24 (anti-DREW) PCRP State Delegates on fabricated charges. (mySCGOP.news, May 8th, 2025 – The Latest SCGOP FabricationHERE)

It really is dumbfounding … but in reality just another example in a long line of examples since the MAGA America First insurgency began in ReOrg 2021 with the outright fraud in Greenville (HERE & HERE).

Well, it is ongoing with the SCGOP … as they say, the gift that keeps giving insofar as exposing the hypocrisy and outright corruption withing the SCGOP State Leadership & State Executive Committee itself.

Specifically – the SCGOP State Executive Committee voted ( 32 to 18 ) at its quarterly meeting on June 7th, 2025, that the Pickens County Republican Party would be “suspended” until the next quarterly meeting in September. The PCRP elected leadership can no longer use the PCRP name, website, email system, bank account … even with important elections coming up in November … and the PCRP can’t meet … but somehow (even though they can’t meet?) they are supposed to come up with a “plan” to present to the SCGOP State Executive Committee in September on how to fix the fabricated problem.

Basically Pickens was “unorganized” on June 7th (without notice) – even though the SCGOP State Executive Committee did not have the 75% of the votes needed to unorganize PCRP under the “new” Rule 16(b) which was ramrodded through in a special called SCGOP convention in July 30th, 2022. 

The good news is the former PCRP Chair, Bob Fetterly (who did not run, nor had he planned to run, for re-election in 2025) has published a video response to the SCGOP charges that he arbitrarily capped the number of county delegates to 400 – a bizarre charge by the SCGOP. Bob did a great job laying out the details … and it now appears that “if” there were any “Rules Violations” … it was really the SCGOP itself that violated it’s own Rules. 

Take a look … we think you will enjoy the video response and details:

This is obviously going to be an ongoing story … so stay tuned!!!

The opposition hates it so much … and we temporarily had to move it to a local DENNY’S restaurant … because they actually filed a ZONING / Business Use violation as we were not authorized to have public meetings inside our HQ (outside is OK) as we are just formally permitted as a “business office” AND a PODCAST STUDIO!!! Yes, we are formally permitted at our HQ as a PodCast Studio … so guess what we can do!!!

We are now LIVESTREAMING the meeting not just for our local Greenville Friends … but also statewide (and worldwide as we have had members watch from Europe & even from a transatlantic cruise).
