I am privy to many details about many things that I am more often than not prohibited from sharing (by request). You get to guess because I’m never going to reveal a confidence deliberately. But I’m not above teasing. And this will be teasing.
One of the best things about the current New Hampshire budget, before, during, or after the most recent announcement that the Governor will now seriously consider restraints on executive emergency powers if the legislature passes HB2, is that it could bring the rain.
What some folks will only see as a small win – before Sununu agreeing to embrace some restraint on emergency powers down the road – was loaded with potential well worth the price of admission.
Yes, the FMLI business was total BS, but lacking funding isn’t significant. Potentially dangerous, still, but only if we fail to do our jobs and get it fixed. And Sununu and the Senate – can’t trust them as far as you can throw them.
Tax reforms, pro-life advances, there’s a lot to like. But the thing I wanted was the somewhat watered-down language leftover from HB544.
The existing statutes already provide the legal weight to bring the rain down on CRT happy school districts. I have confirmation that CRT does violate the state’s anti-bullying law, as I have suggested time again.
And my months-long call for lawsuits, as far as the eye could see against school boards, superintendents, and maybe even teachers, is a genuine possibility.
Bring the rain.
Imagine a costly lesson for a few districts that should result in the others dropping the scam like a bad penny (which it is) – assuming you are also willing to help us identify where they are trying to hide CRT in its many forms so we can dig it up and expose it to the light of day.
But after HB2 becomes law, I have it on excellent authority that there is even more leverage, and that means more than you can know.
Imagine, if you can, a series of high profile, high dollar lawsuits that the education experts and their CRT homonculi will lose.
An all-out assault on the systemic racism, bullying, and bias of critical race theory and its practitioners. An effort that could rip it all out by the roots, flip school boards (if y’all are willing to help make that happen too), an end to hiring radical leftist superintendents (by your new school boards), and a serious kink in the left’s education industrial complex in the Granite State.
Maybe even some damage can be done to the NH School Boards Association, which has fertilized the system with their crap for years.
I may be exaggerating, but maybe not. I don’t want to overpromise, but the preliminary outlook makes me smile.
And any such improvements are not just limited to dumping CRT. Public Education in the Granite State as we know it could change.
Fingers crossed. Stars and planets are aligning. The time may have arrived for a reckoning for the Left’s public education abuses.
CRT was too much, and most Americans agree. So, in my mind, it was always worth the risk because the upside potential is huge.
Emergency powers are a problem, but the bigger issue is recurring generations of “graduates” from the machine who blindly embrace it. Changing the former before the latter is a short-term solution – one we still need, but that could be easily undone.
If you’d like more reassurances that there are upsides in HB2, know this. The Democrats hate it. They are terrified of it and fear the effect it will have on them and their agenda. It makes them spit, and fume, and pout, and rant.
Of all the golden rules, one has always been that Democrats will always tell you what they fear. They fear HB2.
For all its flaws, before or after any “last minute” negotiating, it was always a nightmare to the left, and if ever there was a selling point for anything in politics, that would be it.
