About Your New Committee to Review Challenged Books in Schools

Parents in SAU34 Calling On Superintendent and School Board to Stop Teaching Children to Have Sex With Adults
This post has gone viral in New Hampshire. Parents are fed up with schools grooming and sexualizing their children. This isn’t about a difference in opinions on a book. This is about sexually explicit material and photos being shared with children through the Sora App.
POLLING Data On Obscene Books in Public Schools

Since this is turning into a national debate, let’s take a look at some of the polling. According to a new Rasmussen poll, voters are overwhelmingly against obscene books in public schools.
I Went to the Gilford School Board Meeting Last Night and Gave Them a Present – They Were Not Amused.
New School Year. A new set of meetings. And I went to it. While not the main topic and reason why I attended was for a redo of Policy JBAB (Transgender and Non-Conforming Students NonBinary), it is now, yet again, an issue. Sidenote: And this is the problem with Wokeness – almost every day, the … Read more
Irony Alert: Parent Cut Off By School Board for Using Obscene Language (She Was Reading it Out of a Book for Students)
Imagine a school system where it is inappropriate to read to a School Board from a book the school provides for students because “students” might be watching the School Boards live feed?

The Hunger Games
I read all three of these in record time. Two this past weekend. And while there are some curious stabs at environmentalism, and the can’t we all just get along meme, the most power full themes are the terror of absolute tyranny and the fact that we are all damaged goods. I highly recommend them. … Read more

Bedford School District Book Woes Re-ignite
Warning. Strong Sexual Content.
The Bedford Public School system is back in the news again. Another book has popped up in the curriculum that is questioning the standards of the towns (cough-cough) educational experts. This time is it ‘Water For Elephants.”
This book appears to have some very interesting subject matter, which someone in the Bedford District finds suitable for students to read. I’ll let you be the judge. (This is just a sample, and relates to the “warning” strong sexual content” portion.)
(Warning! By jumping to the conclusion of this post you accept all responsibility for the content you are about to read.)
And now…a respite from politics: “Breaking Night,” by Liz Murray
I always jot down mini-reviews of books when I finish them. Don’t know how many I have. Only got into the habit in the 1980’s or ’90’s. None of the real important ones are there—Atlas Shrugged, 
Economics in One Lesson, Power and Market, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance—but most of them for the past 20 years or so. But life has a way of filling up every nook and cranny, so you don’t have much time to read. I don’t like that. So I figure one of my New Year’s Resolutions (oh come on, they’re fun, not serious…even if they are carried through on) will be to read more. Dont’ know where I’m going to find the time. But I’ll do it.
What made me make this resolution? The book I just finished. Michele gave it to me for Christmas, inscribing it on the front "No more wondering!" because I occasionally ask "I wonder how that girl is doing who lived homeless in New York and eventually went to Harvard? What was her name….?" Her name is Liz Murray, and I couldn’t put her autobiography down. It’s just come out. It’s a best-selling hardback over 300 pages long. And I just finshed it in less than 48 hours.
Here’s what it’s about. Here’s my min-review….
Stieg Larsson Is A Dead Marxist
I
had occasion to spend an above average amount of time in the "reading room" over the weekend. No need to go into specifics but perhaps the words Whole Bowel Cleanse, give you some idea of what I mean.
While so positioned, I managed to cram all 590 pages of Stieg Larsson’s book ‘The girl with the dragon tattoo‘ into my reading diet and let me say this; if you can get past the first 190 pages the next 400 are worth the time. I enjoyed the bulk of the book immensely, despite the fact that I was trapped in "the reading room" and that it was written by a now dead Marxist.
We Still Hold These Truths
Matthew Spalding from the Heritage Foundation is an expert on the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, Political Institutions, Political History and Citizenship and it is evident on every page of his book, ‘We Still Hold These Truths.’ This thing is crack for liberty lovers, and if you don’t already own a copy order one now, or stop … Read more
