Republicans in the New Hampshire legislature have a pair of bills working their way through the process that protect parents’ rights. The opposition position states unequivocally that “parents do not have the right to know what is going on with their children in schools.”
The political left is fighting for net-zero transparency. They don’t want to have to explain what they are doing with your kids. It’s the sort of thing they do in a cult, but taxpayer dollars pay for this cult. It is robbing parents to then deny them access to whatever is being stuffed into these children’s heads.
It’s fascist, actually, and while NHGOP Chair Ager has some strong words for the antics of NH Dems, he doesn’t go that far.
Concord, NH – House and Senate Republicans Defend Parents’ Rights in Concord with two Parental Rights bills. New Hampshire Republicans stand firmly with Granite State families and parents and our Republican majorities. Chairman Chris Ager released the following statement:
“Parents have every right to know what their children are being taught, what they’re struggling with – personal or academic.
As a parent and grandparent myself, I find it astonishing that Democrats, teachers unions, and LGBTQ+ activists are opposing this, arguing that parents do not have the right to know what is going on with their children in schools.”
House Bill 10 and Senate Bill 272 would institute a Parental Bill of Rights aimed to codify a parent’s right to raise their children and clarifies that schools are not allowed to withhold information regarding that child’s academic or emotional wellbeing.
The fact that these bills are even necessary and that Democrats and the cultural left would rise in opposition tells you more than you need to know. Dictators, tyrants, and despots steal children from their parents. They program them to be good political party slaves. Sometimes they even have them spy on their guardians. Report them to the politicheskiy rukovoditel; the political officer.
That is the position of New Hampshire Democrats and their allies who oppose transparency and accountability. A precedent that isn’t limited to public education. The goal is to take your money, and they refuse to tell you anything about how they spend it because, in their mind, it belongs to them.
Remember you didn’t build that? It also applies to your children, and we shouldn’t need more laws, but here were are, and here they are opposing them.
