Are You Paying for Child Sex Trafficking Through Your School Budget? Most Likely- YES

A parent in New Hampshire described how the SORA School Library app many children now have on their school-issued Chromebook includes hyperlinks to a website where children can access child sexual predators.

This online library also makes pornographic books available to school children too. You can listen to her testimony before The New Hampshire House Education Committee here.  (1:38:06)

In order to provide this online library to children, the school district must pay a subscription fee. Where does this subscription fee come from? The school budget.  This means that you are probably paying for child sexual predators to access children.

If this isn’t bad enough, your district also pays dues out of the school budget to the New Hampshire School Administrators Association. (NHSAA) The NHSAA then employs lobbyists (District superintendents) to fight against legislation to prohibit these kinds of books and materials in the schools.

A lobbyist (Superintendent from the Plainfield School District) from the New Hampshire School Administrators Association. (NHSAA) OPPOSED prohibiting schools from making pornographic content available to children. Esther Asbell, Superintendent of SAU16 (easbell@sau16.org), is the Executive Director of the NHSAA. Why are they not speaking out against this dangerous content that is now available to children in our schools? Why are they opposing good legislation that will protect our children from pornography and child sex trafficking?

Sydney Leggett, from the NHSAA Equity Committee, essentially says that students have a right to access pornographic materials in the school. This Bill would infringe upon their rights and deny them access to porn and materials that show them how to connect with sexual predators. You can listen to her here. (1:08:00)

Not only are you paying for the subscription service, but you are also paying a lobbyist to fight against prohibiting this kind of content from ending up in your child’s hands.

Here are some of the emails exchanged between administrators who were discussing this legislation. In other words, instead of discussing how to teach children to read and write, they are using EQUITY as a reason to stop legislation that would prohibit the most obscene content from reaching children in our schools.

They even had a Michael Bessett, Assistant Superintendent from Kearsarge, take time out of the school day to add his opposition to prohibiting obscene content. According to documents requested through a 91-a, the 8 hours were unpaid. When will they put this kind of effort into improving math and science scores?

The school budgets will be presented to your community in a few weeks. Whether you have children in the school district or not, you are paying for all of this. Ask about the dues you are paying to the NHSAA, and then make a motion to remove that item from the proposed budget. Taxpayers need to stop funding an organization that represents a biased political viewpoint that is anti-parental rights and puts children in harm’s way.
