Messing with our children is a detriment to their future and the direction of this country. The Pandemic took its toll on every individual, but the way the teacher’s union used COVID as a bargaining tool took its impact on every student in America.

Teacher’s Union President Visits Ukraine “To Bear Witness and Call Attention to the Effects on Children”
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) is directly responsible for policies that have undermined years of education for American children, and not just during the COIVD plandemic. So, what does the union president do?
AFT Battles NEA For Most Dangerous Force on Education
by Ray Cardello
I wrote about the NEA, National Education Association, just last week and its damaging influence on education, and worse, our children. With millions of members and their dues supporting far-left political issues and candidates, the NEA is more of a Political Action Committee than an entity concerned with your child’s education. The NEA says on … Read more
Teacher’s Union Goes To War with America
Back in 2012, we poked fun at the American Federation of Teachers. They’d sent out a pre-election survey to candidates. Twenty-Five questions, and not one of them was about children or education. Power and money. That was their agenda. And here comes the NEA a decade later.
AFT Lawsuit Can’t Even Name GraniteGrok – “Merely A New Hampshire Rightwing Group”?
by Skip
I decided to read the complaint filed against the New Hampshire Dept of Education. It references Commissioner Frank Edleblut, NH Commission on Human Rights Christian Kim, and NH AG John Fomella. All because the AFT (NH Chapter), a couple of teachers, and a couple of parents aren’t happy.
Unions Demand Teachers “Log” Students’ Vaccination Status
A teacher in New Jersey is exposing the union for gathering vaccine data on students and their families. She reports that an app developed by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to data-mine information should be used by teachers to gather vaccine data on families.
About Teachers Pretending to be ‘Parents’ – Yeah, I Noticed, for the Past 10 Years

No, this is not new, it’s just that their masks have dropped because they believe you can’t do anything about it! ”
The Teacher’s Unions Lied About CRT
Sometimes things happen, and we take them as they come without connecting the dots or following the bread crumbs. Take the Teachers Unions, for example. The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA) said CRT’s not real. It’s a right-wing conspiracy.
Taxpayers, Not Unions, Should Direct School Curricula

CRT – Debate Points against CRT in Schools – Stack of Stuff Part 17
by Skip
It’s been a while (back on July 12) since I tried to unpack my Stack of Tabs I collect as I’m surfing around to see what piques my interest (yeah, I’m a bit overboard on this “collection schtick” – probably about 500-600 tabs easy). So, time to restart!
I Bet 99.9% Don’t Know This Law: “No Teacher Shall Advocate Communism as a Political Doctrine..”
by Skip
While NOT quite the same as “overthrow by force” isn’t what the Left, especially the NEA, the AFT, and the teachers who have signed up to teach doctrine that would overthrow our Republic be subject to this?
Teachers, is Your Profession Becoming Obsolete?
Years ago I saw a survey by parents that indicated they preferred their children attending a local public school using a traditional model where their children were taught by great teachers. I think most everyone would agree with that, even when they opt for a private school.

by Op-Ed
Riddle: What is worse than a virus sweeping America and the government shutting down much of the economy?
Answer: A Virus, the shutdown, and then a tax hike on your shrinking paycheck.
For New Hampshire citizens this is not a bad joke. This is the future.

Promoted from the Nashua Microgrok: Does this email, sent by a teachers union representative to district staff using school district electronic mailboxes, sound like electioneering to you?
Nashua: Rigged Elections and Taxpayer Funded Electioneering
by Op-Ed
Does this email, sent by a teachers union representative to district staff using school district electronic mailboxes, sound like electioneering to you? “You sent around the election stuff on Friday. But some people were missing. Could you check if it was just an oversight? If you don’t have those names, I will check the status with Adam.”
Electioneering: Nashua Teacher’s Union Breaks the Law Again and Violates Their Contract
The Nashua Teachers Union violated the law the other day. Public employees were handing out election flyers on school property. Today we have a new report that they broke the same law again, this time electronically, and violated their contract at the same time.
Taxes? We don’t pay no stinkin’ taxes!
by Susan Olsen
Peggy Gilmour and I were both graduated from college in 1973 (it only took me three years). She went on for a graduate degree in nursing and I went o nto the family coal business and then some. Though Ms. Gilmour dropped off the radar screen for a period of time – at least according to the free bits at LinkedIn – at some point in our respective careers, we were both CEOs. As such, I would like to think that each of us had a passing understanding of state and federal tax codes and the implication of same on our respective businesses; truth be told, it did not take a rocket scientist to understand that the short version is – they either paid taxes on the income they earned or they were exempt from paying taxes on the income they earned.
This Week On GrokTALK! – the after edition
by Skip
While creating today’s GrokTALK! podcast, we had Dean Dr. Julianne Cooper from Liberty Harbor Academy and Josh Youseff who ran for the NH State Senate this last cycle on to talk about education. We ended up talking on a number of issues concerning education and during that discussion, I remembered this post from 2009 about then retiring NEA General Counsel Bob Chanin and read some of his words:
Despite what some among us would like to believe it is not because of our creative ideas. It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power.
…And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year, because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees.
…This is not to say that the concern of NEA and its affiliates with closing achievement gaps, reducing dropout rates, improving teacher quality and the like are unimportant or inappropriate. To the contrary. These are the goals that guide the work we do. But they need not and must not be achieved at the expense of due process, employee rights and collective bargaining. That simply is too high a price to pay.
Here is the clip:
NH State Senator Peggy Gilmour – I demand who should control education dollars
by Susan Olsen
And that would not be parents – From today’s Concord Patch: ‘Sen. Peggy Gilmour, D-Hollis, had urged her colleagues to overturn a committee recommendation and then pass the repeal bill. In a statement, she said, “The program has no accountability of public money. It allows private, non-profit corporations to determine where public education dollars are … Read more
