Amendment to CACR 34: Language only a budding despot could love.

Former State Representative Paul Mirski sends the following warning:
RE: Proposed [Public Education] Amendment to CACR 34
Now, the governor and legislature have cooked up proposed language to amend our state constitution that would void the founders view of freedom of thought, religion and association by having the people of New Hampshire instead, impose upon their children the teaching of whatever curriculum the authority of the state deemed worthy of promulgating. As an added insult, the amendment would give the state the authority to extort from parents and their neighbors, the money to pay for such state indoctrination.
The offending amendment language reads as follows:
“The legislature shall have the responsibility to define the content of an adequate education to prepare the student to become a productive and contributing citizen and to determine the total statewide cost of providing that education to all public school students. The legislature shall have the authority and responsibility to raise the funds that total the statewide cost of this education……”
Only a budding despot could love the language the legislature has wrought. No sensible citizen of New Hampshire should let themselves be duped into voting for such misguided social policy nor be duped into giving up rights having to do with conscience, freedom of thought, action and association.
Encourage your legislators in the House and Senate to defeat the House Finance Committee’s proposed amendment to CACR 34.
Hon. Paul Mirski
