Zais Speaks to Greenville Tea Party
- Details
- By James "Chip" Moore
When South Carolina State Superintendent of Education Dr. Mick Zais was elected to office he said, “To the best of my ability I will try to run the department like a business.”
Since being in office Zais has made progress in reorganizing agencies and has made the department more efficient. By reducing the size and cost of the department, Zais is able to put that money into the classroom. While speaking to the Greenville Tea Party on Thursday, November 29, 2012, he explained that 577 staff positions have been reduced down to 469. The reduction in size is permanent and permission from the General Assembly is needed to add any more positions. Zais stated that he is not done and will be eliminating more positions by not continuing them after they expire.

Joseph Evan Davis Chapter #907, Children of the Confederacy, Honors Veterans at November Veterans Appreciation Ceremony
The Creed of the Children of the Confederacy Organization states:
“Because we desire to perpetuate, in love and honor, the heroic deeds of those who enlisted in the Confederate Services, and upheld its flag through four years of war, we, the children of the South, have united in an Organization called the “Children of the Confederacy,” in which our strength, enthusiasm and love of justice can exert its influence. We therefore pledge ourselves to preserve pure ideas: to honor the memory of our beloved Veterans: to study and teach the truths of history (one of the most important of which is, that the War Between the States was not a rebellion, nor was its underlying cause to sustain slavery). And always to act in a manner that will reflect honor upon our noble and patriotic ancestors.”
