Letter to the Times
This is in response to the article about Croydon’s budget battle, which appeared on the front page of the New York Times a couple of weeks ago. I don’t think they’ll be printing it, though. So I thought I’d reproduce it here.
AFT Battles NEA For Most Dangerous Force on Education
I wrote about the NEA, National Education Association, just last week and its damaging influence on education, and worse, our children.

Cover the World in Leather? Or Wear Shoes?
The so-called Parental Bill of Rights (HB 1431) just went down to a narrow defeat (171-176) in the House, after passing the Senate (14-10). RebuildNH’s recommendation? Run for office. Get politically active. Try again next session. Keep trying to put one over on the other side, while they keep trying to put one over on … Read more
Families Have Values, School Boards Do Not.
We know that the education system in this country has been indoctrinating our children for decades. The process began in the colleges and universities where the Progressive and Socialist professors programmed the easily influenced students who thought they were preparing to teach.

Parenthood Is a Responsibility Not Some Bureaucrat’s Whim
Reading that one Moira O’Neal believes and stated that “being a parent is a privilege” just kind of makes my blood boil. Parenthood is a responsibility but O’Neal’s statement implies that even that can be taken away by any bureaucrat’s whim.
