In terms of judicial activism, New York’s infamous Judge Engoron has got nothing on New Hampshire’s Judge Ruoff. Engoron has abused his position as a judge in order to destroy one man … Donald Trump. Ruoff has abused his position as a judge in order to destroy democracy in New Hampshire.

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (2/8/24)?

So Kids, What Did We Learn From Wednesday’s House Session (1/3/24)?
We learned that today was the first of two days this week that the House will determine the fate of around 66 bills that were retained from last year. We voted on 37 of those bills today.
Context is… Nothing.
The current in-vogue spin-room phrase is “context is everything.” That phrase is used to provide an excuse for every unethical action, from teachers who are caught reading pornography to grade-school children, to politicians who vote to support “gender-affirming” surgery without their parent’s permission or knowledge.
Are the State Courts Trying To Transfer Control of School Districts to Central Command in Concord?
If you take out and read the United States Constitution.
Or the New Hampshire Constitution.
Or the Declaration of Independence.
Or the federalist papers.
or Tom Paine’s work “common sense.”
You would not find “equity” (as used in DEI).
School Board Closes Elementary School After Parents’ Lawsuit Over Poor Education
For the first time in the state’s history, a lawsuit by disgruntled parents may have caused at least a temporary school closure. Windham Elementary School was voted to be temporarily closed on Thursday by their school board. The students will now attend Townsend Elementary School.
Musk U
Elon has announced his new University. You heard right. The world’s richest man is getting into public education. He’s got a plan to create a STEM-focused primary and secondary school in Austin.
When All You Have Is a School, Everything Looks Like…
I’ve been participating in an email thread where the main idea is more or less that ‘special education is ruining everything’ in schools.
Unfit For Liberty (Part 3, Courts)
For the last several months, many of us have been waiting on pins and needles for a judge to tell us what the state constitution says about education, which is remarkable because it’s not like that constitution is written using particularly difficult language.
Uniform Nonsense
I just finished listening to a webinar by the School Funding Fairness Project. Their whole approach to ‘funding’ (which focuses on fairness in spending while totally ignoring fairness in education) is based on two misconceptions.
Markets, Not Judges, Set Prices, Even for Education
There is one and only one way to determine the “true cost” of an adequate education. That is to create a competitive education marketplace. Alas, that is not the approach New Hampshire has taken.
Valley News Pimps Progressive Education Tax Propaganda
The headline is “property taxpayers bear the brunt of costs.” The subject is education funding, which, if you are paying any attention, is a dramedy akin to The Money Pit but with no beautiful anything at the end of the “movie.”
Night Cap: Dear “Tough Conservative” Kelly Ayotte … So, How Are You Going To Pay
Context: After a “judge” in the New Hampshire trial, courts attacked our democracy (yes, bitter-clingers, this was an actual attack on democracy) by
Pay-and-Pray Funding
Imagine that you go to a mechanic because you have a problem with your car. He says: Give me several thousand dollars up front, and leave your car. And when you come back for it, maybe it will be fixed. Maybe it will be in worse shape, although that doesn’t usually happen.
Frank Edelblut Should Get Back in the Race
In September, Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut spoke to the Brentwood Republican Committee. I don’t hang out there, but Frank had just announced his non-candidacy for Governor, and a neighbor and fellow Grokster was aching to understand the skullduggery behind the move and offered me a ride to the event. Frank gave a talk, not on … Read more

Public elementary schools have rapidly implemented nebulous “Comprehensive Sex Education” (CSE), which introduces children at a very young age to sex, gender identity, gender orientation, and a worldly rainbow of other sexual “education.”
Democracy Dies In New Hampshire, With A Shrug
So there was an actual “attack on our democracy” this week. Some “judge” decided to exercise the power of the purse, which is a power of the political branches NOT of the judiciary. The State Constitution gives the legislature the power to decide how much to spend and how to spend it. The executive has … Read more
Education Freedom: NH Ranked 19th While Most of New England is Ranked Worst in the Nation
Education Freedom, both the idea and its actual embrace, has seen significant growth in recent years—a result of policy choices by Democrats who hate it. COVID oppression locked kids down and out of schools for months or years – and parents with them putting Ed-Choice on the radar.
Political Accountability Isn’t
Recently, I came across yet another in a long line of calls for ‘holding accountable those who are supposed to serve us.’ In this case, the writer was talking about public schools. Yes, we should definitely do that. We should hold accountable the people who operate our public school system.
