NEA-NH Teacher’s Conference Has Student Mental Health Course

January 20, 2025 Steve MacDonald

I hope taxpayers aren’t covering the cost of admission. The NEA is the largest labor union in the US and, therefore, the largest teachers union, so when the NEA in NH announces a teacher’s conference, you’d be right to wonder what they want teachers to know. If you happen to be a member of the … Read more

April 18, 2022April 18, 2022 Ann Marie Banfield

There is a war brewing in New Hampshire between Commissioner Frank Edelblut and parents, versus The New Hampshire Teachers unions. How did it get to this point? This conflict has been brewing for some time.

Guess Who Wants Public Schools to Hide Their Curriculum?

April 10, 2022 Ann Marie Banfield

When Nicole Solas asked to see what her child would learn in Kindergarten, she was sued by the teachers union. It makes you wonder why they want to hide this kind of information from parents.

What Will Dems Do Now That a Teachers Union Opposes Mandatory Vaccination?

August 9, 2021August 8, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Almost any plea for requiring vaccination can be followed to some Left-Wing source so this is a problem. A New Hampshire Teachers Union representing 17,000 “educators” has come out against mandatory vaccination for staff or students.

So the union cries crocy tears for badly paid teachers. Union workers? MUCH better

Maggie’s World -or- It’s Good to be the Duchess

Sustainability Ferris Wheel

Democratic candidate for governor, Maggie Hassan, was recently endorsed by New Hampshire’s largest union*, the National Education Association (NEA-NH).

In their press release, the union stated that “Maggie shares our belief that good public schools are the foundation for strong communities and a vibrant economy and that for our students and schools to thrive, we all need to be held accountable — teachers, parents, students and elected officials. She knows that continuing to slash school funding risks losing an entire generation of students who won’t get a second chance…”

Union President, Scott McGilvary, also stated that “it became very apparent that there was one candidate that can stand up for public education and bring us forward and that Maggie Hassan is our candidate.”

NH Unions Using Religious Bigotry to Affect Merrimack School Board Elections?

September 26, 2018April 9, 2012 Steve MacDonald

(Derp- Fixed the title.)

I was recently informed (my source has asked to remain anonymous for good reason) that a teacher from a nearby town was repulsed at the sight of a Joe Kearns for School Board sign on a Merrimack residents lawn. When asked “why that reaction” she proceeded to explain that her union had told her that Merrimack School Board candidate Joe Kearns was a member of the Christian Coalition. If the union told her, it must be true, right? Smart lady like that would have looked that up.

But if she had looked it up she would know that Joe is not a member of the Christian Coalition, and so would her union. Neither of them did, or neither of them cares to know the truth. But they did want someone to know the lie.
