The Left Has Handed You the Way to Take Back Our Schools (With Gov. Sununu’s Unintended Blessing)
I had the privilege of being a guest speaker at a Republican Committee Meeting this week. One of the things I spoke about was something I speak to at length on these pages and often. Critical Race Theory is bullying, and it’s a Free Pass from the left for us to take back our schools.
Who’s Afraid of Education Freedom?
Change is coming to our outdated education system. So far this year, more than a dozen states have enacted policies that empower families to choose their child’s learning environment using the public funds set aside for their child. The “Live Free or Die” state could be next—so long as special interests don’t get their way.

Minnesota BLM Leader Quit When He Realized Black Lives Matter But Not to “Black Lives Matter”

With HB544 Dead It’s Time to Start Suing NH Schools – CRT Violates NH Anti-Bullying Laws
This is not the first time I’ve brought this up, but since the legislative effort to prevent this abuse has failed, it’s time to look for bigger guns. Lawyers and lawsuits as far as the eye can see.
This Won’t Make Any Points With Progressives
I’m working hard to convince TMEW to homeschool the Grandson. She’s agreed, as a former teacher, to do a test trial over the summer as more and more I keep coming across material that Reading, Writing, and ‘Rithmetic are the core academic priorities.
It’s Time for Public Schools to Focus On Academics.
Commissioner Edelblut, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for bringing Ian Rowe to the State Board of Education meeting on March 15th. This was a wonderful presentation that I believe highlights the importance of refocusing on literacy in the classroom.
Why is Systemic Racism Apparent Mostly in Democrat Controlled Cities?
We’re told that America is “systemically racist.” I don’t agree, but parts of America appear to be treated in a “systemically racist” way. “Systemic” means a system, an organization, or process with legal authority.
Everything the Left Does Looks Like This
In 2010, having suffered successive years of Democrat majority legislatures, and reckless spending, Democrat governor John Lynch decided (perhaps as a distraction) that the state should “reduce” the school dropout rate to near-zero.
Endless Lawsuits to Funnel Limitless Amounts of Money to Failing Government Schools

The ConVal Education Funding Decision … or How Chris Sununu Wasted Three Supreme Court Nominations
Here is the most important (and remarkable) part of the decision that was issued on March 23rd, but I have not had the time to comment on it until now.
Public School STEM Equity – The Left Continues Its Gentrification of Education
Economic leveling is an idea sold as making poor people more equal. What it does is make more Middle-Class people poor while the elite ruling class gets richer. At least one State Board of education has applied this thinking to math. They want to hold kids back so others will feel more equal.
Speak Out Against the Mass Social Indoctrination in Our Schools [Updated]
Today, students at Bedford High School are taking part in a school-supported “day of silence” described as a “silent demonstration” for LGBTQA+ rights. Participation earns students 6 “Democracy Hours,” hours that count as “Real World Learning Hours,” a requirement for graduation.
Why is a NH State Rep and President of a Teachers Union Advocating Civics Illiteracy?
The New Hampshire House just advanced a bill that would require college students to pass the civics naturalization test as part of their diploma requirements. A similar bill recently passed the New Hampshire House requiring this of High School students too.

Now That the School District Has Labeled Your Child as an Evil Racist, How Will That Be Used against Him/Her?
In my last article on Critical Race Theory (CRT), I described an agenda put forward by CRT apologists to label your child as a racist and oppressor. It doesn’t stop there.
