Agreeing on Divisive Concepts

As things heat up at school board meetings — with the new prospect that people expressing displeasure with their local boards may be treated as ‘terrorists’ — it’s worth revisiting the idea of removing ‘divisive concepts’ from schools since they are what so much of the fuss is about.

Live Free or Die NH

Well, if US Attorney General Garland says I’m a Domestic Terrorist, I guess I am! My School Board seems to agree. Others here in NH?

UPDATE II: My Chief of Police Anthony Bean-Burpee, just called.  His modus operandi (my wording) is that he will respond to local issues and groups – not to anyone higher up the law enforcement food chain. If asked, his dept will respond to the local School Board requests for having a presence if a “spirited” meeting is anticipated but other than that (and to which I can confirm), no officers are deployed. Nor will he respond to politicized redefinitions of words that US AG Garland used: intimidation, harassment; only the standard English and legal definitions thereof. Otherwise, he will just follow the Law. He agreed – just filing a lawsuit against a (er, my) School Board doesn’t make me a Domestic Terrorist.

UPDATE and bumped: I did get through calling the NH Attorney General’s office. I’m sure that my message will go through – the person answering the phone told me “you have great articles!” and knew how to spell the “g.r.o.k.” part of our name.  We chuckled over a couple of things – she took my info and affirmed again that it will be put through.
