So I read this press release from Chris Ager congratulating the House NHGOP for playing defense. In fairness, they did expand … ever so slightly … EFAs, which is not playing defense. BUT the NHGOP should be playing offense … because once Chris Pappas becomes Governor in 2024 they won’t be able to play offense.
What they could and should do is remove DEI from public education. More specifically, eliminate the DEI bureaucracy. The response, I’m sure, is: can’t do that because LOCAL CONTROL. My response to that: “local control” should not be used as a shield for anti-white racism, even when it is euphemistically described as Diversity-Equity-Inclusion. Additionally, DEI in reality is not a manifestation of local control. It is a manifestation of a permanent bureaucracy that is unaccountable and serves itself, not students and parents. In other words, DEI demonstrates that in reality there is no local control of public education in New Hampshire … just bureaucratic control.
