Here We Go Again

February 1, 2025February 1, 2025 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

January 17, 2025 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

January 7, 2025 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

December 15, 2024 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!

November 3, 2024 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

October 2, 2024 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?

September 29, 2024 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?

September 27, 2024September 21, 2024 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

Governor Sununu Institutionalized Social Emotional Learning in New Hampshire

September 25, 2022September 24, 2022 Doris Hohensee

The legislature never authorized Social Emotional Learning for NH public schools. Governor Sununu did it all on his own. Governor Sununu brought Social Emotional Learning (SEL) to New Hampshire and hired an SEL Program Director who reports to him, not the Department of Education:

Why I Endorse Thad Riley for Governor

August 13, 2022August 13, 2022 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.

Rich Girard’s vs. Victoria Sullivan’s Education Plans for Manchester Public Schools

June 18, 2021 Doris Hohensee

It’s encouraging that parents and voters are finally speaking out against the radical agenda being imposed upon students in our public schools. Sadly, many school board members and administrators refuse to listen to parent’s concerns. They need to be voted out.

June 15, 2021 Doris Hohensee

After 15 months of being closed, from March 2020 to June 2021, Nashua City Hall is finally open! I was pretty excited to be able to enter without an appointment or a mask to pay my City bills. It was almost like things were returning to normal.

May 17, 2021 Doris Hohensee

The Nashua Republican Party is in Disarray

May 14, 2021 Doris Hohensee

There’s a split within the Republican party, which has grown since the appearance of Never Trumpers, many of whom conceal their positions while running for office. So it’s hard to know who’s who anymore.

Does NH State Law Prohibit the Use of Breathing Restraints on Students?

May 5, 2021May 5, 2021 Doris Hohensee

Sure does look that way!

Requiring students to wear a mask for school, or athletics is by definition mandating a physical restraint. A mask “[o]bstructs a child’s respiratory airway or impairs the child’s breathing or respiratory capacity or restricts the movement required for normal breathing.”
