HB 1232 would restore parental rights. It shifts the burden of proof in due process hearings regarding special education placement on the school district or public agency, not the parents. Why is this important?

Democrats – the children are OURS, not the Parents
This is one of my pet peeve issues. Superindendent Kirk Beitler and the Gilford School Board are in the process of doing this right now with their Policy JBAB on “Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Students(implemented directly from the NH School Board Association who had this bucket of “Hating on Normal Parents” out there since 2008). … Read more
State Takes Minor Child Without Parental Consent and Changes Their Gender
Anmarie Calgaro’s 15-year old son asked for and received gender transition therapy without the consent of his mother. The state initiated emancipation and proceeded to treat the child without ever notifying his mom. She wants the Supreme Court to take a look.
New! Improved! Sex-Ed Plus Censorship Plus Mandatory Morality
In the beginning… Colorado passed controversial sex-ed legislation back in 2013. What they did started national discussions about how much we want to expose children to. The Colorado legislation was a mandatory, comprehensive sex education law. It requires students undergo “culturally sensitive” lessons. “Culturally sensitive” means sex-ed lessons incorporating minority perspectives on sex. Minority perspectives … Read more
Did Bedford Make a BIG MISTAKE Electing Senator Jeanne Dietsch?
In 2017 parents finally enjoyed a victory for parental rights. Governor Sununu signed an important law that supported informed consent by a parent/guardian before their children could participate in a non-academic survey. What’s so bad about non-academic surveys in our schools? A LOT. Google inappropriate surveys in schools and you will find examples of surveys … Read more

Linda Rea Camarota – candidate for NH State House, Hillsborough County District 7 (Bedford)
My name is Linda Rea Camarota and I am a Republican House Representative candidate running in Hillsborough District 7-Bedford. I am a long time Constitutional Conservative and Republican. I believe in local control, limited government, accountability and transparency.
There is a Primary in Bedford. I need my supporters to go out and vote for me on September 11 at the Bedford High School. After winning the Primary, I then need your support at the General Election on November 6.
My husband, Michael, and I have resided in Bedford for the past 30+ years. As a parent, I strive to protect children and, in that mission, I strongly advocate for parental rights. As a medical professional, I believe in protecting citizens’ privacy rights, including school-aged children. School safety is of special interest to me. I was on my high school’s Safety Committee for many years. For the past 3 years, I have attended the Annual Emergency Preparedness Conference to learn from the experts how to be proactive as it relates to school safety. Each year, sessions covered how to respond in instances such as an active shooter.
GrokTALK! – Do You Want Parents Engaged or Not?
In part two of our interview with Ann Marie Banfield we continue the discussion on parental rights, education transparency, and the duality of education experts that claim they want parents engaged but then embrace policies and curriculum that keep them disengaged.
GrokTALK! – Worst Governor on Parental Rights Ever?
Education advocate Ann Marie Banfield joins us to talk about the Governor’s veto last week of parental rights regarding objectionable material (HB332) in public school classrooms. We discuss transparency, age appropriate material, parental involvement, and what parents and taxpayers need to do to ensure parental rights are defended and secured.
Does The State Own Your Children?
Rep. Josh Moore joins the program to discuss State Ed Empress Virgina Barry’s decree that no one shall opt out of any testing in her domain. They talk parents rights, the decline toward the socialist state, and the winner of the WTF of the week.
Yet another Teacher makes it known that kids don’t belong to their parents.
The US Left now believes that children belong to the community and not to their parents (the latest really public outburst was by Progressive Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry of MSNBC that I posted here). A while ago now, I was up in Moultonborough during a School Board meeting and there I saw a first hand account … Read more
But who needs a Dad when Government gives you permission to literally screw up!
Ugh. Like I said,in order to have their political jones satisfied, Progressives / Socialists / Marxists / Communists have understood for decades that they have to unmoor the American public from their traditional values in order – and in this case, a most important – Parents authority and responsibility. Here’s a quick story that chops at a number of those anchor points all at the same time. From Philly.com via The College Fix:
Students as young as 14 in Philadelphia will soon have access to unlimited free condoms, courtesy of the city government. And while parents will be able to “opt-out” by sending a letter to their child’s school, administrators have made it clear that they will not monitor or restrict access to the condoms, even for those students whose parents have signed “opt-out” letters.
In other words, if your child attends high school in Philadelphia, then the government has taken control of your 14-year-old’s access to birth control, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
And this is why I have said that Conservatives have got to get back into the schools – it is there that the cultural tide that is wrecking our nation and which we saw this last election has its fount. So here is a policy, set by a democratically elected administration, that thinks it is just great to lie to the parents of the kid in their care. WHY bother to send the ‘opt-out’ form is it is only going to be thrown out and out-right ignored?

Is The Teenage Mother’s Life Really at Risk?
In the 20th century, deaths from complications of pregnancy have dropped from 850 per 100,000 pregnancies in 1900 all the way down to 7.5. That’s quite impressive. What has to annoy liberals is that most of that improvement occurred by 1982 and without unlimited access to “life saving abortions,” and without the state or federal pro-abortion democrats hindering parental consent before they were performed on minors.
Ask Ray & Kathy…About Incest
Question: If consensual sex (without coercion) between any two adults is a protected right, (gay sex is defended on these grounds) does the state have a right to prohibit sex between adult relatives, regardless of how closely related?
If There’s Grass On The Field Play Ball
We could call most Democrats a contradiction wrapped in an enigma but to be honest there is nothing enigmatic about them. They are just a contradiction. And while we could give them some small credit for not always understanding their own contradictions, acting as they often do solely on feelings and impulse, when they have their own newspaper and use it to propagandize the subscriber-ship with bovine bloviations, we can offer only pity.
Hodes = Wrong
A little less than a year ago, Paul Hodes voted to kill funding for abstinence education in the 2010 Budget. (I wrote about it here.) He hailed it as a necessary cost cutting measure even though 75% of all HHS money for teen sex programs already went to promoting condom and contraception use. By his … Read more
