Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Folks appear resigned to building Nancy Reynolds school on old spot

It would look like old one but be updated, bigger; renovation was unfeasible

DANBURY (By Lisa O'Donnell, Winston-Salem Journal) - Nancy Reynolds Elementary School has played an important role in Jan Cox's life.

Four generations of her family have attended or are attending the historical school.

Cox carried with her a sliver of sadness yesterday when she stepped forward at the Stokes County Board of Commissioners meeting yesterday and backed a plan to demolish the school and build a new one in its footprint.

"We regret that as a community, we did not pursue renovation when the school could be renovated," Cox said after the meeting.
