Wildly Expansive State Funding of Private Schools

Doris Hohensee

In 1993 the NH Supreme Court discovered a “hidden-in-plain-sight” constitutional “duty” of our State “legislators” to “cherish,” i.e, fund, an “adequate” education in “public schools.” Historically public schools were locally funded. Despite two ongoing lawsuits disputing the amount of State funding necessary for this obligation, legislators now propose to expand taxpayer obligations to fund both … Read more

Universal EFAs: Not a Good Idea

Doris Hohensee

Rep. Rick Ladd, Chairman of the House Education Funding Committee, argues that Universal Education Savings Accounts (EFAs) are needed because:  A “one size fits all” system of education is not the best learning environment for all students. (House Calendar No. 15, March 7, 2025, HB 115 on pg. 13) Chairman Ladd knows exactly why public … Read more

Handouts are Addictive

Doris Hohensee

What’s to be done? Parents are distraught, school district budgets and property taxes are skyrocketing, and there’s bullying and declining academic outcomes in public schools. State legislators shrug their shoulders. They don’t know what to do. Most of them don’t even think they’re responsible for the mess. It “just happened.” But the problem is “so … Read more

Eliminate Student Data Tracking

Doris Hohensee

D.O.G.E. just cut $900 million from an agency, the Institute for Education Sciences (IES), which tracks American student data. Did the cuts go deep enough to eliminate funding for the State Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) ? This system tracks student data from all fifty states, despite the fact that the federal government has no constitutional … Read more

Resolve the NH Education Crisis

Doris Hohensee

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

Here We Go Again

Doris Hohensee

Parents recently testified to the legislature that public schools are not “safe” or “suitable” for their children. That’s because the state has bribed public schools, using taxpayer dollars, to implement every education fad from restorative justice, which results in widespread discipline and bullying problems, to social emotional learning, which replaces academic instruction with behavior modification. … Read more

Testimony: Universal Eligibility For The Education Freedom Account

Doris Hohensee

HB 115-FN – Universal eligibility for the Education Freedom Account program Parents are frustrated with public schools. Rightly so. The state legislature has destroyed them with costly and controversial regulations, resulting in high property taxes and no voice in our public schools. The legislature accepted federal bribes on an ongoing basis to implement “standards-based learning,” … Read more

Proposed NH House Hearing Rule Change Is A Super Bad Idea

Doris Hohensee

Contrary to what Rep. Dan McGuire writes, the proposed rule change to allow committees to table bills without a hearing is a transparent attempt to block the people’s voice. More insidiously, it can be used to shut down what leadership considers “extremist” positions within their own party. A 75% vote in committee to “table” a … Read more

State-funded “School Choice”: A Power Grab

Doris Hohensee

Some members of the legislature believe that public schools are no longer “fixable.” They want universal state-funded spending accounts to allow all students, rich or poor, to escape public schools. They call it “school choice,” but it’s really an insidious transfer of power to the state. Yes, public schools are a uniform mess, but the … Read more

NH Ballot Question: Vote NO!

Doris Hohensee

It’s age discrimination to require sheriffs to retire at 70 years of age while extending judges’ retirement age to 75. A retired judge who lost sight of equal treatment before the law initiated this ballot question. Now you can plainly see what an elitist cabal our judiciary is. What’s also troubling is that voters aren’t fully informed. They aren’t … Read more

Please Stop Feeding the RINOs

Doris Hohensee

There is no upside to electing Kelly Ayotte over Joyce Craig. Ayotte will maneuver with stealth in favor of anti-freedom policies and will be difficult for many Republicans to go against. Those same policies initiated by Craig would be resoundingly opposed by Republicans. Donald Trump has been continually battling establishment Republicans. There are many, including Gov. Sununu, … Read more

Do you want to Make America Healthy Again?

Doris Hohensee

Don’t vote for Ayotte . . . unless she recants what she wrote in her 2019 pandemic book: Ending the Cycle of Crisis and Complacency in U.S. Global Health Security. In her book Ayotte discusses the need to: Much of so-called “misinformation” that was censored during the 2020 Covid pandemic turned out to be quite accurate. … Read more

Is Kelly Ayotte against Free Speech?

Doris Hohensee

In her book on pandemic planning, “Ending the Cycle of Crisis and Complacency in U.S. Global Health Security,” Ayotte supports state censorship of social media. This book was written before the pandemic! You can look for yourself. She mentions “disinformation” seven times, promoting the need for state censorship. “…the credibility of the scientific and medical … Read more

Why I Endorse Thad Riley for Governor

Doris Hohensee

I had hoped conservatives would endorse a single gubernatorial candidate rather than risk splitting the conservative vote four ways and handing the Primary to the incumbent, progressive Chris Sununu. Since that hasn’t happened, I’m weighing in to endorse Thad Riley for Governor.
