February 22, 2021 Skip

I’m betting that newly elected NH State Rep Edward “Ned” Gordon(R) (currently the Chair of the Judiciary Committee; who knows if it will become “former” after tomorrow’s Leadership meeting) would be in favor of this given that he threw in with the Democrats in voting against every Pro-Life bill and aborted them all.

An Entire School Board Resigns After Getting Caught Disparaging Parents in an Online Meeting

February 20, 2021 Steve MacDonald

It is a best practice to assume that boards and committees in your municipality, be it a plucky berg or a sprawling metropolis, secretly (or not so secretly) hold disdain for the people they claim to serve. The more liberal the area, the worse that attitude will be. They are not your friends, and you are a barrier to their agenda. Take this School board.

December 24, 2020December 24, 2020 Skip

As I have said countless times, Government schools truly believe that your kids really aren’t yours – the kids, ALL kids, belong to them. I’ve heard teachers say it. I’ve heard administrators say it. Sometimes by nuance and sometimes straight out (a “gaffe” as it is called).

Why aren’t Parents Included in the Meeting?

October 7, 2020October 6, 2020 Ann Marie Banfield

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.

America today is a perfect illustration of the application of third world solutions in a first-world society. Marxists in the US are trying to leverage the immediate righting of everything they see as wrong. They badger the people who own and operate the offending organization.

New Poll: Will Teacher’s Unions “Holding Students and Parents Hostage” Help Re-Elect Trump

July 25, 2020 Steve MacDonald

A majority of parents want their kids to go to school. To the school, every day, like it used to be. The teacher’s unions, repeating the Democrat Party narrative, are holding those kids hostage; if they think parents have not noticed, they could be in for an electoral surprise.

July 10, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I know people in public education, and watchdogs outside of it. There is pressure for Public Schools to not go back to in-person learning. At least not right away. But that’s a problem for a lot of people, or maybe not. Catholic Schools are stepping up to offer an alternative.

Another example of teachers despising parents – who “owns” the children?

April 13, 2020 Skip

According to this from The Daily Signal, parents don’t but teachers do. Imagine that, parents are legally responsible for their children while they are minors but the teachers wish to continue splitting up the relationship between those children and their parents.

Blogline of the Day – there’s a reason behind “Dumbing down”

March 2, 2020 Skip

How modern education has destroyed the next generation’s soul — students are taught self-esteem and sexual promiscuity more effectively than science and civics.

A “Parents Transgendering Kids” Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy Double-Tap!

November 1, 2021October 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I found this on Instapundit and it is immediately recognizable. John Hawkins asks – this may sound familiar – if kids are getting re-gendered by parents who have Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy? I asked the same question last June.
