Dean was represented by Charleston attorney Brian Knowles. The same attorney who represented Barnett. @live5news.bsky.social

I asked them about the choice to alienate these and other large districts and was told USC Beaufort has been a review site in the past and they declined this year.

No insight into any reasoning behind not choosing the other colleges and universities in the area that would be qualified.

The materials will be used at all public schools in the state and it will be difficult for parents in DD2, Berkeley and Charleston Counties to review them in person.
