The public school double standard
With Learn Everywhere back in the news, discussions about the program tend to involve errors of fact (e.g., that costs for the program would be incurred by local districts) and errors of reasoning (e.g., that offering more alternatives to some students somehow means harming other students). But to me, the discussions are most notable for the way they seek to perpetuate the double standard that defenders of the status quo like to hide behind.
HS Valedictorian Goes Off Script – Rips on Counselor, Office Staff, and an Alcoholic Teacher
This has to be every High School students dream. A captive audience and time to vent your truth-telling. And while not everyone could be expected to accept what was said without some skew ala teenage angst and filters, this student was the class Valedictorian.

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

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.

Getting anywhere else from here will be awkward and expensive.

This Weeks Facebook Poll Question – Local Schools as Gun Free Zones
The gun-grabbers love to whittle away your ability to carry. Require permission. Make that process more complicated and expensive.

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

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.
