If you have been paying any attention to politics in America and NH today, you know that the Democrat Party has become steadily more radical, and I’ll say it, more un-American.
Education
Finding Opportunities in One of the Strangest School Years in New Hampshire History
New Hampshire parents and teachers are now more than a month into what can only be described as the strangest school year in New Hampshire history, and I think that all of you deserve a round of applause for making it this far!
The (Arguably) Most Important Question in the Gubernatorial Race That Everyone is Ignoring
Do you remember the ConVal education funding lawsuit? From my post back in June of last year: So last week, a single Superior Court Judge decided he was the State’s Education-Czar and implicitly ordered -while, of course, claiming he was doing no such thing- the State to -at a minimum- triple spending on public education … Read more
Is ‘Necessary’ the Same as ‘Helpful’?
I was just listening to the Commissioner of Education tell a charming story about how a student with special needs was able to find a creative way to allow him to participate in a welding class at his local school. Like many of the stories he tells, it was heart-warming.
A Tipping Point – Teachers Pushing Parents to Homeschool…
As a former local Budget Committee member, I can tell you that the phrase “it’s for the children” is a complete lie – it’s really for the adults in the teachers union.”
The Way Things Are, Children Don’t Have Much of a Voice. It’s up to Us to Speak for Them
Dear Legislator,
I am angry. Are you listening? I am a public school teacher (now in Massachusetts) and parent of two children. My family lives in Nashua. Some of you may recall that I have sent a few emails to the legislature in the past and have written an Op-Ed or two.
Why aren’t Parents Included in the Meeting?
Chairman Kahn,
I write to you today with extreme concern for many of the students in New Hampshire. As a parental rights advocate, the number of students suffering from the lack of in-school learning should have us all concerned.
Bureaucracy Is Your Enemy … We Can Fix That
Our bureaucracies are unaccountable and unelected. They have come to view themselves as here before elected officials got here and staying when the elected officials leave.
If NH Dems Want More Money for Public “Education” Dartmouth has a 6 Billion Dollar Endowment
Dartmouth College is loaded. They are RICH! By which I mean more money than Oprah (2.6B). If they were one of those other greedy Americans, they’d be, well, George Lucas is worth 5.4 Billion, so they are bigger than him. So, if NH Dems want cash for schools (cough cough), the gateway to these riches is in Hanover.
New Hampshire Needs to Repeal this Now Unconstitutional Remnant of Anti-Religious Bigotry
In part one, A Landmark Supreme Court Decision Relating to School Choice and Education Freedom – I discussed several U.S. Supreme Court cases leading up to the recent Espinoza v Montana Department of Revenue.
Joe Biden’s Promise to Defund Charter Schools
America is beginning to see a clearer picture of what Biden’s America would look like. Going to Leftist policies means less choice, and it certainly means higher taxes. We’ll pay more and get less. But we will all be the same whether we are or aren’t.
CO2 Increases “Linked to” Rising Education Costs and More Gun Crimes in Democrat Cities but not Forest Fires.
If you search the ‘Grok for “wildfires,” you’ll get about 500 hits. If you search ‘Wild Fires‘ that number grows to 700. We’ve had a few thoughts on the topic, almost entirely because the Left clings to the idea that these are all your fault, and by giving them your money and power, it will magically end. Sorry but no.
“Your children’s children will live under communism, You Americans are so gullible.”
Nikita Khrushchev was the leader of the Soviet Union in the late 1950s and early 1960s. According to Ezra Taft Benson among others, Nikita Khrushchev said, “Your children’s children will live under communism, You Americans are so gullible.
Vermont Families Join NH Grandparents in Suing States Over Tuitioning Restrictions
In June, the US Supreme Court ruled that states could not discriminate against schools based on religion regarding tuitioning rules. Grandparents from Croydon, NH, promptly sued the state over its prohibition. Three families in Vermont have just done the same in theirs.
Here are some of the more persistent socialism myths and information to debunk them.
We are seeing many socialist ideas gaining traction in America today. Polling shows about 70% of millennials say they would back a socialist candidate for elective office. This is troubling because of what socialism is and what it produces.
Teacher’s Unions Are Making a Profound Mistake: Are Any Republicans Going To Take Advantage of it?
I realize that this has been on my stack since mid-last-month and schools are already starting to open for the year but thanks to Teachers Unions parents aren’t all that happy with this new redefinition of education. Are any Republicans going to take advantage of that?
“Here’s How Your Children Are Getting Indoctrinated by Leftist Ideology.” – Another version
As stories like my previous post and this one keep coming out, one has to be thinking: What the heck is the School Board members thinking? Where is their oversight over what is being taught?
“Here’s How Your Children Are Getting Indoctrinated by Leftist Ideology.”
This post by Doug Blair has been popping up in a number of places and I first found it at The Daily Signal. The days of the teacher, a wooden desk, a blackboard, and apple are long gone. We’ve posted examples of this indoctrination regime in the past – more of “higher Ed” than the lower grades.
Promoted from the Comments – “NH is actually not a good place to raise kids anymore.”
I think this needs a bit more play. It is about folks that feel NH is moving away from their deep roots. So we are promoting this comment is from NHNative. It was under Ann Marie’s post: “Teachers, is Your Profession Becoming Obsolete?”
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.
