Yes, I’ve been found out (to a point); From Commenter NHNative:
I’m seeing the beginnings of the “How to Do” section at GG.
Yes it is. Not that we are the end-all-be-all at this stuff but I’m happy to rapidly “fail and engineer again” with this to get it right (and Ann Marie is doing the same).
“Experts” in and only that we’re trying to get to what actually works.
And we’ve got some legal backup coming as well to help hone our “RTK edges” to tissue-cutting sharpness. And some rhetorical war hammers are in the process of being constructed as well.
One way or another, especially when it comes to Critical Race Theory (and all the other euphemisms that Education is trying to hide behind), with your help, we can make School Boards Follow The Law.
Simple, isn’t it? Should be a concept that ALL Americans can get behind, right? After all, our Republic was built on the Pillar that is The Rule of Law.
Unfortunately, as we’ve been seeing, our Culture is starting to reject that Pillar – much to our dismay and ultimate demise. And we’re seeing it in the one, singular, entity that students are aware of – School Boards.
In today’s environment, it is the “Professionals” – having captured School Boards in this Marxist “CRT Fad” – that are rejecting not just The Rule of Law but of American political philosophy entirely.
But they can’t escape it just yet.
What I have given to the Laconia School Board, I gave to the Gilford School Board this past Monday:

Per RSA 91-A:4 IV(c) If you deny any portion of this request, please cite the specific exemption used to justify the denial to make each record, or part thereof, available for inspection along with a brief explanation of how the exemption applies to the information withheld.
Please let me know when these records are available for inspection or you may email the records to me at Skip@GraniteGrok.com. If the volume is turns out to be substantial, I’ll be happy to supply a backup drive sufficient to hold all of your responsive records.
Thank you for your lawful attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
As with my others of late, I have still not even gotten a “receipt of your RTK” of this nor the one about the Legal GL line items. And with the Superintendent on leave until at least October, this process will take a while….fun, fun, FUN!
