Chris Sununu’s Local Control Hypocrisy

As you know if you have been following the Critical Race Theory issue, New Hampshire’s Sun-King, Chris I-Am-The-State Sununu, just hates the idea of CRT being taught in New Hampshire’s classrooms … BUT his hands are tied because he has to be true to the principle of local control:

This critical race theory stuff and how it’s being taught. I don’t like the idea of critical race being taught in our schools and to our kids. And if that’s happening, then parents have the ability to step up and talk to their schools about that. I mean, there’s a direct bias in just discussing that, right? Some of those ideas can get very controversial, very divisive within the schools themselves. And so I understand a lot of the pushback.

Now is it the place of government to come in and tell schools what they can and can’t say? Well, that’s kind of big government stuff that I’m not a big fan of. And that’s why I’ve said that House Bill 544, I’d veto it. I’m not supportive of that bill. But I think part of that is because we have local control. We have a very active community with parents and teachers and kind of understanding, you know, what’s appropriate and what’s not. And if there’s something that’s happening in the classroom, as a parent I can tell you, if there’s something happening in my kids classroom, I’m going to go say something about it. And we’re going to talk about it and find a better path.

Hold on, Sun-King. For the past year … under the pretext of protecting us from COVID … you have ignored local control and micromanaged virtually every aspect of our public lives.

And please don’t tell us, Your Majesty, that COVID is such a deadly disease that you had to make an exception just in its case to local control. COVID is not and never was anywhere near the deadly disease that we were told it was … especially not for the schoolchildren that you intend to allow to be indoctrinated by CRT theory. Here is the latest from the CDC:

Sun-King wants to have it both ways on CRT. He wants the Right to believe that he is on their side … and he also wants the Left to believe that he is on their side. “Local control” is simply the means that Sun-King is utilizing in order to have it both ways. As the past year … with its mask-mandates, lockdowns, capacity-limits, closure of “non-essential” businesses, etc. etc. etc. … shows, Sun-King does NOT really believe in local control.
