Allowing families to choose their school is fantastic for education, something we fully embrace in Croydon, as one of the state’s pioneering districts in school choice. Open Enrollment has the potential to be a great advancement. But unfortunately, its proposed design will lead to terrible unintended consequences. In Croydon, it will most likely lead to … Read more
Rep. Kristin Noble’s HB 1268, the Home Education Freedom Act, is one of the strongest pro-liberty home education reforms introduced in our state. This legislation ends burdensome state requirements like mandatory notice, portfolios, and end-of-year evaluations for homeschooling families. Instead, it ensures that New Hampshire treats homeschool education with respect and trust, giving parents the authority and flexibility … Read more
Watching coverage of rioting occurring in several U.S. cities, I have been disheartened by the sheer number of women, both young and old, engaging in extremely vulgar and violent assaults on officers appointed to protect our country and keep the peace! I completely support peaceful protest, but what I’ve seen daily is far from peaceful. … Read more

The sponsor, … Read more
For better or worse, the Vermont Legislature has not yet passed any bills into law this year. The Senate last week passed two controversial anti-ICE bills. Both bills passed by a 27-2 roll call vote with only Sens. Russ Ingalls (R-Essex) and Terry Williams (R-Rutland) voting no. Both bills now move over to the Vermont … Read more
The leadership of the House Ways & Means Committee wants nothing to do with allowing Vermonters to access a One Big Beautiful Bill tax credit that would give them a dollar-for-dollar return on money contributed to private school scholarships. Ways and Means, the committee with oversight over all tax policy and legislation, on Wednesday discussed … Read more
President Trump is the best president of my lifetime, but that doesn’t say much for the rest. My suspicions that all the good headlines hide a lot of potential problems have been growing over the past several months. The predictor of the calamitous 2008-2009 financial crisis, Peter Schiff, was featured on Fox and Friends in … Read more
If the government can dictate what must be injected into your body, then who really owns you? That’s the question vaccine mandates force us to confront. And it is a question our Constitution already answers: all government must be “instituted for the general good,” and sovereignty rests with the people, not with the state. New … Read more
Our national leaders are heading to recess. Like little school children, when the bell rings, they leave their work behind and head to the playground. Of course, their playground is fundraising and shoring up their base, while ignoring constituents who are unhappy with the job they’re doing. Admit it, there is no accountability for those … Read more
Today, we will undertake an explanatory study into the methods, purpose, and origins of Social Emotional Learning.

The prophetic words of German playwright, poet, and philosopher Friedrich Schiller 1759-1805 pinpointed what has gradually happened in American public schools over the past hundred years: “ It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal the mind of a nation), The blame diminishes as the … Read more

Most people have no idea how perilous our current situation is. The entirety of the Democrat Party is engaged in a treasonous coup and open rebellion against Trump, at the federal, state, judicial and local levels. It’s not as easy as just doing some paperwork and arresting people. It’s all one giant criminal conspiracy, imbedded … Read more
Parents, your leaders have paid a high price for failure. The United States spends over $900 billion annually on K-12 education. Funds controlled by the Education Mafia (the “EM”), the creators and the administrators of the psychological poison that indoctrinates our children with the curricula created by UNESCO and the Department of Education, chosen textbooks, … Read more
The landmark case Wickard v. Filburn significantly altered the Federal government’s power. The 1942 SCOTUS ruling essentially declared that what the federal government subsidizes, it shall control.

This week, Finance met to hear another five bills. HB 1566, funding the childcare recruitment and retention program, was another attempt to replace federal funds with state.

Support HB1313 to Repeal Unconstitutional “Buffer Zones” As Granite Staters, we pride ourselves in our “Live Free or Die” motto. Our State Constitution enshrines that idea, and declares free speech ought “to be inviolably preserved.” [Article 22]. Yet state law currently authorizes so-called buffer zones that restrict peaceful speech on public sidewalks. HB1313, the Sidewalk … Read more
