Developing….Political Bias in Merrimack High School…Evolves

It may be too soon to tell for sure, but Monday was the day by which I wanted to hear about (or see) some changes in the way certain Merrimack High School teachers were favoring President Obama in class…and I have.

Not everyone has reported back yet but everything points to an effort at demonstrating some nonpartisan behavior.  Where there previously was just Obama, I am told there is now Obama and Romney.   Where this treatment was not possible, the pro-Obama messaging has, for the moment, been removed.  That was all I was looking for.  Some balance, and if that was not possible the absence of obvious bias, particularly in the instruction.

Will this first effort translate into more balanced classroom conversation lead by teachers with that previously obvious bias?

Quick thoughts on the debate now that it is over.

Heh!: “Obama ‘death stare’ is the new Biden smirk.” It doesn’t matter if Obama wins tonite or not – it is whether or not Obama’s performance overall will cause people to change their minds when compared to Romney’s performance.  I think that while Obama may have squeaked out a win (barely), I’d call it a draw … Read more

Granite State Futures…At Concord High School?

The Granite State Futures Calendar is a great resource for finding out where these fools are planning to show up next.  Take this for example.  I’m not sure what they are doing, but it’s from 3-4 pm at Concord High School, in the Civics class.  Sounds like after school.  What exactly is this? Concord High … Read more

“Bad Luck”

As GraniteGrok is, in part, named from a word from Heinlein best seller “Stranger in a Strange Land” – grok), this is appropriate.  From Instapundit: THE ITALIAN JUSTICE SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN COVERING ITSELF WITH GLORY LATELY: Italian scientists convicted over earthquake warning. This calls into mind Robert Heinlein: Throughout history, poverty is the normal … Read more

Sandra Fluke – Ready For her Mall Tour?

About ten people showed for a Sandra Fluke rally in Nevada
Sandra Fluke knows how to draw a crowd.  Not quite as big as Tiffany at the beginning of her Mall Tour days, but hey, the North Reno Nevada Sak ‘N Save parking lot had people in it.

Fluke might want consider the inverted parallels.   She started out speaking to congress and getting national media attention, and now she’s been reduced to a roadside mountebank speaking to ten people in the parking lot of the local Sak ‘N Save.  At this rate she’ll be singing Tiffany’s first number one hit, a cover of I think we’re alone now. (Followed by ‘What could’ve been,‘).

Fluke’s “speech” was part of a scheduled day long Democrat get out the vote event.

What Justice Ginsburg and Bill Maher Have In Common

Last week I wrote about some comments by Bill Maher that included this progressive gem: My motto is let’s kill the right people.  Sure Bill, you and the rest of the Progressive Democrats for more than 100 years…

This is a party descended from eugenicists whose support for abortion and “end of life decisions” is based on a desire to “people” their inevitable man-made utopia with only the best the human race has to offer (as defined by them), and to use the power of the state to reduce the burden of any life that could be or has come to be inconvenient to that end

Margret Sanger was not giving away contraception because women had a right to it, she did it to prevent the birth of burdensome people she viewed as genetically inferior.  She didn’t want them polluting her gene pool.

So today I am catching up on my reading and I discover a post by John Sexton in which he writes of an interview with the pro abortion Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg…

A few Quick Points on a Monday Morning..

About that Debate?  Obama loses no matter what happens. An observation about Hillary taking responsibility for Benghazi….I bet Obama promised to nominate her to the Supreme Court in exchange if he is re-elected. (The only other thing I believe a Clinton covets more than being President.) And my spies are deployed to check the state … Read more

Obama’s (Illegal) Foreign Donor Signed Up For Events By Campaign

Bwahahahaha! The New York Post on Sunday reported Chris Walker, who lives in England, made two $5 donations to the Obama campaign. Walker used his “actual street address in England but entered Arkansas as his state with the Schenectady, NY, ZIP code of 12345.” Because of the Obama campaign’s lax online security measures, which the Government … Read more
