And We’re Back Here Again because Republicans and NH Gov Chris Sununu Refuse to Honor the NH Constitution: “Period Poverty”

January 20, 2023 Skip

Yes, it’s back. And I thank NH State Rep Jess Edwards for stepping into the fray with his attempt with HB129-FN-LOCAL (and for NH State Rep Judy Aron that attempted to fix the wrong last session) that attempts to “cure” the Unconstitutional Act that became law back in 2019 as it violated Article 28-A. I’m … Read more

So, [Republican? Snicker!] Gov. Chris Sununu Told Us All That He Is Anti-parents and All in for the Teacher’s Unions.

May 20, 2022May 20, 2022 Skip

I AM ONE OF THOSE PARENTS THAT THE SCHOOL WON’T TELL ME WHAT THE TRANSGENDER STATUS OF MY LEGAL SON IS (“So How Did It Feel, Gilford School Board, to Watch Your Principal Lie to Me in Public Because of Your Policy JBAB?“)! And Sununu wants to keep it that way!

Yesterday, we raised the 19th amendment flag on the Citizen Flag Pole on Nashua City Hall Plaza and I wrote this to commemorate the occasion.

The Gilford School Board Isn’t Too Happy with Me – Lots of Fun Last Night!

August 3, 2021August 3, 2021 Skip

For almost a year I have been trying to get the Gilford School Board to answer my questions – meant to tell the Board that their policies don’t follow the Law.

UPDATE: “Tales from the School Districts”: The Meaning of a Word and How Much Longer a Wait?

April 6, 2021 Skip

As I posted yesterday, I’m kinda like the dog that finally caught the car bumper – but knowing that it is time to shake the car instead of doing the Scooby-Doo “Huh? Now what?”. I did end up going to our School Board meeting last night to ask the questions surrounding: 1) The meaning of … Read more

Tales from the School Districts – So How Much Longer of a Wait to Obey the Law?

April 5, 2021 Skip

As much as I hate what SB263 did (Gender Identity as yet another Protected Class – like we need MORE of ‘classes’ instead of just being “Americans” as in E Pluribus Unum?

The Gilford School Board Turned the Whole System Upside Down For a single Trans Student. UPDATE: Who Just Moved out of Town

December 31, 2020 Skip

UPDATE and BUMPED from Sept 6, 2019: The two parents that decided that their first-grader was no longer he but she and proceeded to turn the school system into a hot mess so they could be pleasantly pleased heaping their personal wokeness on everyone else have vamoosed out of town. Good riddance.

Gilford School Board – October meeting: Powers and Rights (Part 2)

November 23, 2019November 23, 2019 Skip

“Mr. Murphy, please submit that question in writing to us…..I have already; twice! No answers” Well, this coverage of the Transgender issue that the Gilford School Board has jumped the gun on may take a while but I think it is important not only on students and staff affected by this but IS THE SCHOOL … Read more

Gilford School Board: when a Transgender policy has violations but no penalties? Use an RSA 91:A Demand

September 10, 2019 Skip

The entire policy is here. Yes, this is going to be a thing for a while – yet another attempt of mandating another left leaning policy in which we Normals are supposed to tolerate, accept, affirm, and believe in what is a mental disorder (last I knew, sexual dysphoria is still in the book as … Read more

Can the Gilford School Board (SAU73) get any more tone deaf over their new Transgender policy?

September 9, 2019September 9, 2019 Skip

So, one of the complaints that was issued by a parent at the last School Board Meeting was that this new transgender policy was just SPRUNG on parents; noticed during the last week of August when many could have been out of town and little time to get the word out.

Gilford School Board – Public Comment session(s) testimonies – Part 3

September 9, 2019 Skip

And the last of the video clips from the latest Gilford School Board: Part 7: Part 8: Part 9: During this whole meeting I kept thinking one thing: Does the School Board even know that Gilford sports coaches have approached me on this topic? Do they know that the Normal public sees this as being … Read more

Gilford School Board – Public Comment session(s) testimonies – Part 2

September 8, 2019 Skip

There is a reason why we are starting to roll out MicroGroks. The Gilford Steamer (the weekly that covers Gilford) is ignoring the transgender policy, rammed through by the School Board BEFORE the authorizing legislation (SB263) has taken force.

Gilford School Board – Public Comment session(s) testimonies

September 8, 2019September 7, 2019 Skip

So a thought – if grown men (and yes, some senior boys are, indeed, grown men of legal age) can go into the girls bathroom, how does the public law on indecent exposure now work? The Gilford School Board is now saying that it no longer applies to its bathrooms and locker rooms. What are … Read more

Tearing out the bricks of Society’s Wall again – thanks Gov. Sununu for telling Social Conservatives to go stuff it. Again

August 31, 2019 Skip

Yeah, you oughta be looking glum over this one, Gov. Sununu. You just opened up a whole new Pandora’s box. Society is held together by common values, mores, and behaviors – and not externally driven laws like the Left believes do the actual work of keeping an orderly Society. It’s the little guy on your … Read more

Sununu Signs Gender Bill Erasing Title IX Distinctions And I Predict Lawsuits as Far as The Eye Can See

July 19, 2019July 19, 2019 Steve MacDonald

SB 263 was sold and signed into law as a bill to end gender discrimination in Public schools. I doubt it was the problem they claimed but regardless, the new law undercuts Title IX by erasing what it means to be a girl. What could go wrong?

Brentwood NH – Do you know how your two NH State Reps voted this week? GraniteGrok does!

June 8, 2019 Skip

You know, because Liz McConnell asked for the Streisand Effect by trying to censor the Brentwood Newsletter, we’re just obliging her by continuing to share her voting record with her constituents. So this is what she did this week – and contrast that with your Republican State Rep, Josh Yokula. You have to ask yourself … Read more

NH State Rep Liz McConnell – thou doth protest too much

May 11, 2019 Skip

Congratulations – you have brought both us and the Streisand Effect upon yourself (and we’ll start looking into Eric Turer as well). Yes, we may well end up “raising your profile” but doubtful in the way you think you might want. So, let’s circle back on your latest votes, shall we? And JUST because you … Read more

“Do Laconia’s Democrats really represent the voters?”

May 9, 2019

To The Daily Sun, The Democrat-controlled New Hampshire House just voted in support of SB 263. This bill would allow, in public schools, trans-gendered boys to play on all-girl teams. It would further set the stage for transgendered students the ability to sue faculty for “misgendering” them by using their biological sex pronoun. Two of … Read more

How did NH House of Representatives vote by Party lately?

May 8, 2019 Skip

How your State Reps voted May 8: SB193, banning flame retardants for alleged health reasons but allowing those “unhealthy” products in schools or hospitals. Passed. 100% of Democrats voted to Pass. 93% of Republicans voted to Kill. SB205, allowing unelected bureaucrats to raise a hidden tax on electricity without legislative approval. Passed. 99% of Democrats … Read more

Kuster and Pappas Support Law That Would Force Schools to Allow Boys to Compete as Girls

April 12, 2019April 12, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Two of Washington DC’s ambassadors to New Hampshire, Chris Pappas, and Ann Kuster have cosponsored HR5, a bill that would tie the gender spectrum to Federal anti-discrimination law. A change that would “would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls.”
