When the people perform the arduous process of creating new state law through government, it works by starting in the State’s House of Representatives. A State Representative introduces the newly suggested law to their State’s House, and it gets voted (in or out) there first. If it gets voted IN through the State’s House of Representatives, the proposed law then must be approved (or amended and then approved) in the State’s Senate before it can even possibly end up in front of the State’s Governor, who can either ignore it, sign it, or veto it.
Ignoring it means it eventually becomes a state law. When a governor vetoes a bill that progressed all the way through the House and the Senate to end up on their desk, they are ostensibly saying, ”the process failed and I know better than everyone who supported this.” They reject the people’s will. Reasoning for vetoing a bill needs to be extremely sound, or the Governor appears as a tyrant or King/Queen of that state.
Recently, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte vetoed several bills, leaving residents of the state shocked and dismayed. HB 148, allowing for the separation of SOME spaces by biological sex, was vetoed, leaving women to feel unsafe in NH and businesses unable to provide any safety to them. Women feel betrayed by their female Governor. HB324 regarding age-inappropriate content in school libraries was also vetoed, leaving parents no choice but to remove their children from public schools due to dangerous age-inappropriate and sexual misinformation appearing in their public school libraries.

- Parents found literal sex trafficking happening in their children’s school library books, but they can’t reject it.
- Should kids have access to this book on their school Chromebooks, Governor Kelly Ayotte?
- Is there a specific type of kid we’re saving this book for?
- Why demand this be protected?
- Who are you really protecting?
This isn’t “Reading,” it’s more like… “How to Traffic a Child Making Them Think it Was Their Idea.” This book is available in several MIDDLE SCHOOL libraries in NH. This book is recommended to children because of its “awards”. The description lacks any truth about what young readers will actually find. If boundaries aren’t set around our school children to protect them, schools become a place parents can’t trust.
New Hampshire’s Education Freedom Account will balloon, and massive funding for alternatives will end up bankrupting that program or the state. It’s a great idea that becomes more and more appealing as our children are forced to accept trash education. Teachers’ Unions and the American Library Association are deciding FOR parents of public school children instead, and they have taken a highly sexual approach. A “more is better” vs “better is better” approach is happening. For example, a larger library is seen as a better library. “Any reading is good”, rather than “porn is bad for kids”. So cultivating a really good small library for children is seen as a poor practice compared to giving children access to large, less cultivated libraries.
The highly criticized Sora Student Library App gives thousands of NH students cheap access to over 8,000 books, but which books? Steinbeck…nothing to read. Bible…not there. Pokemon…98 books. Search the term “Sex” and 74 books are currently offered, almost every one of them inappropriate for a school library.
A few great books exist in that category, but they get lost in that sea of trash. They are there, but kids aren’t directed to the best books in this category. They are directed to the award-winning books, which are currently the over-sexualized graphic novels and fantasy porn, such as Ellen Hopkins or Sarah J. Maas. The trash isn’t getting culled out of school libraries anymore; instead, awards are put on these sexualized books, and they are promoted as the ideal. Parents who come across them are horrified.
Recently, a parent was in the Kearsarge High School library for an overflow deliberative session (about funding) and absently picked up a library book to flip through. She opened the book “Saga: Four” to an orgy picture of a naked man with three undressed women. One kneeling in front of him with her head down between his legs. The other two at his sides, one with his fingers in her mouth. (Click here to see the graphic photos the parent took)
What are parents to do when they find their public school promoting porn to their children? If they CAN act, they do. Parents are homeschooling more than ever, while schools are taxing the townspeople out of their districts. It’s becoming obvious that our public schools aren’t safe for children, nor are they financially viable without their best local students. We end up pushing out the top testers and supporting those who allow the sexual boundary violations. It quickly becomes unbalanced and not worth funding. It leads in the long run to a special-education-only system.
If a state’s legislative process creates a new law but the Governor vetoes it without sound cause, that’s not freedom. That’s RULE. Can I go into a woman’s bathroom without an intact male allowed also? Is that freedom? For HIM, maybe. For women…No. Businesses (like crisis centers) are not even allowed to specifically segregate bathrooms by biological sex, only by self-identification. Thanks Kelly. I won’t be visiting any NH crisis centers, pools, or YMCAs until I’m safe.

Governors are keeping the narrative alive by vetoing the people’s will. What kind of government has New Hampshire become when its governor is heavily vetoing its very thorough legislative process? The state motto is deceiving.
NH Governor Ayotte recently vetoed the following bills:
- HB 115 – making temporary appropriations for the expenses and encumbrances of the state of New Hampshire
- HB 148 – permitting classification of individuals based on biological sex under certain circumstances
- HB 324 – relative to prohibiting obscene or harmful sexual materials in schools
- HB 358 – relative to exemption from immunization requirements on the basis of religious belief
- HB 446 – relative to parental notice for non-academic surveys in public schools
- HB 475 – relative to the reductions from the default budget for official ballot town meetings
- HB 667 – relative to health education and requiring the viewing of certain videos demonstrating gestational development
