So this is in response to a post, Promoted from the Comments – A Contrarian View on “Call for Candidates: Run for School Board!” One commentator argues … or at least seems to be arguing … that the proper focus is on school-choice because the political power to take over local school boards AND to then reform the local school district does not exist.
Well … if that political power doesn’t exist locally … not even in “red towns” … then it follows that it does NOT exist statewide. The Democrats have functional control of the House. In 2024, given how rapidly New Hampshire is trending BLUE, they’ll have nominal control and a Democrat Governor … CHRIS PAPPAS.
We are at the high-water mark for school-choice NOW. The only defense … if you intend to remain in BLUE Hampshire … is to balkanize within the State. Move to a red town and make it redder. Eliminate the position of “diversity czar” or whatever euphemism they use for the person whose mission it is to sexualize school-children and teach them to hate Republicans. Fire the Socialist Superintendent.
Other commentators seem to argue that you can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. That is, that it is an either-or choice between school-choice and taking back local school boards. The two are NOT mutually exclusive, but taking back local school boards is the ONLY practical move in this increasingly BLUE State.
