Pedophilia taught in public schools

Pedophilia is Being Taught in a California Public School

It’s sad to think that I’m not surprised by this. Government school officials in California think it is “really important” to teach children about pedophilia and pederasty in the classroom because it is a “sexual orientation.” That is according to a top official for California’s Brea Olinda School District, who admitted to parents that it … Read more

Don’t Turn Our Kids Into Sitting Ducks

by Bob LeFrank I had some business this morning which took me to the legislative office building here in Concord. I was a little early, so I wandered up to the second floor. I saw a few dozen citizens holding up signs that called for protecting the school children. (I made a face at the … Read more

Why Does Merrimack Need $20,000.00 Per Student Per Year?

The proposed budget for the Merrimack School system is 77.6 million dollars. That’s the entire cost to run the district for one year. An endeavor that exists, at least in theory, with one purpose. Educate children. But not very many of them. Which begs the question? Why so much for so little?

Nashua Overwhelms School System – Taxpayers Should Ask: Who Didn’t See This Coming?

Nashua, New Hampshire fancies itself a “Welcoming City.” That’s a semi-Orwellian phrase for deliberately taking in more refugees than you can handle. The Gate City now has kids in the school system who speak as many as 50 different languages and not English. Getting here from there was easy. Getting anywhere else from here will be awkward and expensive.

Deerfield, NH School Study Guide Defines Founding Fathers as ‘Fat, Old, White, Rich Men’

The Deerfield, New Hampshire School district is doing a delicate little dance with NH State Representative Kevin Verville. A constituent discovered some unsettling definitions in an 8th-grade study guide. They reached out to their Representative. He reached out Principal Kristen Withee. Because, one of these study guide items defined the Founding Fathers as “Fat, old, rich, … Read more

NH ACLU: A School “Walkout” is NOT Protected Speech

StudentWalkoutI wonder where this handy bit of information was when the Marxist Women’s March folks were pouring outside money into their national campaign to waste taxpayer dollars. It says that School Walk Outs are NOT protected by the first amendment.

  • However, a school walkout is not considered the same type of speech as wearing a political slogan. A school may take corrective action if you miss school without an excused absence, even if you were participating in a political protest.

Public Schools behaving badly

When Public Schools try to extend their disciplinary reach and influence outside the educational calendar and off campus parents need to rein them and their facilitators in. Skip Murphy joins me to discuss a recent example of this, check it out. Check out the original blog post of this podcast for more ways to listen.

New Hampshire Judges Must Have Skipped the 5th Grade

There is an outstanding editorial by Ian Underwood in the Manchester Union Leader. Here’s a taste. The state constitution says only four things about schooling. First, that: “it shall be the duty of the legislators and magistrates, (…) to cherish the interest of literature and the sciences, and all seminaries and public schools.” Second, that … Read more

Transgender Bathrooms Revisited

We continue our discussion from the first segment on the Obama letter to public schools (on Transgender Bathrooms) with N.C. Lt. Gov. Forest’s remarks, and our take on the debate.    

School bureaucrats don’t like courage and…

…excellence. Okay, I get that…but they are paid with our taxes. And when they use their authority to show their disdain for achievement and excellence, I don’t care for it. Or them. This from today’s Union Leader: “Brandon Garabrant, 18, of Greenfield is graduating from Marine boot camp Friday in South Carolina, and will be home in

time for his ConVal high school graduation Saturday. His mother, Jessie Garabrant, said his request to wear his uniform instead of a cap and gown was refused by school officials, who cited graduation policy. A cap and gown will have to cover his uniform.” In the comments after the article several self-described veterans displayed their servile attitude when…

Red Rover in Dover

In Norwegian, apparently, Røver means Pirate.  I won’t hold fast to that definition.  I just learned it on Wikipedia, which is about as reliable as a school board in Dover spending your tax dollars to pay lobbyists to push legislation you may not support.  Which is what I mean by pirate.  The Dover school board, like many similar cabals throughout the Granite State, spends your tax dollars on professional lobbyists to promote the “interests” of the “district” up in Concord over your own, though they will always insist these ideas have parity when they do not.

So follow the bouncing ball.

Schools, like any government agency, seek bigger budgets.  Those budgets are paid for with local and state taxes.  The folks who run the school–boards, committees, administrators, the unions and the teachers, want budgets to exapnd to protect their jobs and benefits.  To that end they are funding or promoting the funding of other professionals, with your tax dollars, to go before those with taxing power, including the state Legislature, to support laws and policies that will give them more of your money, and further secure their monopoly on education.
