Religious discrimination in NH

Norm Silber

Anyone who thinks that anti-Catholic bias is only alive and well among the Democrats in the US Congress questioning prospective Supreme Court nominees needs to think again and look no further than our own beloved state of New Hampshire, which was originally settled in large part by French-Canadian Catholics migrating Southward. After the great Irish … Read more

Education Funding? You’re all concentrating on the wrong thing (Parts 1 & 2)

Skip

“Taxpayers should be funding public benefits and not private enrichment. At the Northwood Community Center, Ian Underwood gave a presentation on educational funding that basically told the audience that we were thinking about the wrong thing.

The Left’s War on Education
