In the mid-1990’s, the town of Claremont pleaded poverty, insisting that the rest of the state should pony up more money to fund its local schools. The result was the imposition of a wealth-redistribution scheme on the rest of our state. A decade later, Claremont wasn’t looking so poverty-stricken after all.

Well, you can “aggress” all you want, but I think that Claremont (and a whole lotta other towns and cities) ain’t gonna bend over and fork it over (reformatted, emphasis mine): Hiring … Read more

As a matter of public policy, if the Democrat party is behind something, it is probably bad for women and children, minorities, individual rights, human dignity, liberty, individual responsibility, taxes, education, or the future. Whatever they call it, it does the opposite or something radically tangential to its advertised purpose. I was reminded of this … Read more
Many people are giving up on public schools. Districts demand more and more money; student proficiency keeps dropping; and federal mandates keep stacking up, distracting students away from academics and towards social-emotional learning, behavior modification, and other federal agendas. Rather than fix the public schools, some prefer universal Education Freedom Accounts, really vouchers, without any … Read more
