How come the NHCADSV is silent in this one? They get so many millions from DCYF to, in part, train DCYF employees, I understand.

The athletic department, in particular, became a cause celebre. Cut the sports? Unthinkable. Sports build character. Sports keep kids off the streets. One of the loudest … Read more

Apparently, not wanting men in women’s bathrooms and locker rooms is a form of terrorism in 2026. At least, to Senator Debra Altschiller. It’s no secret that the topic of transgender people and which bathrooms they use or don’t use is a controversial and touchy subject. Here in NH, the transgender epidemic is not as … Read more

Spring in Washington usually brings cherry blossoms, warmer weather, and a familiar reminder that Congress has a habit of taking on more than it can neatly resolve. This year is no different.
