Many of my Dem colleagues and I are in recovery from the past two-week State House debacle. We saw a full-frontal attack on public education, science backed public health measures, women’s reproductive rights and clean energy. And for good measure, a bill to enable New Hampshire to secede from the Union was thrown in (yes, you read that last sentence correctly).
Let’s start with defunding public education. You may have read about the “Freedom Accounts” through which the taxpayers will fund private education and home schooling. The Department of Education predicted that only 30 students would take part in the program, but that number has burgeoned to 1,600 students by November of this year. Instead of reining in the program, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle decided it would be a good idea to expand it, further serving to defund our public schools. You can thank the representatives who voted for “freedom“ while raising your property taxes.
Why do you expect ME to supply YOUR child breakfast? Who can't give their kid breakfast? It is the cheapest of all meals. Literally, pennies a day. Cereal and toast. Eggs. Yes, prices are up but any parent who cannot give their kid breakfast does not deserve the kids. Certainly, SNAP would allow for breakfast. Why do people like Anita want socialism? Some districts across the country now serve kids breakfast, lunch AND DINNER!
Keep it Clean. Please avoid obscene, vulgar, lewd,
racist or sexually-oriented language. PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK. Don't Threaten. Threats of harming another
person will not be tolerated. Be Truthful. Don't knowingly lie about anyone
or anything. Be Nice. No racism, sexism or any sort of -ism
that is degrading to another person. Be Proactive. Use the 'Report' link on
each comment to let us know of abusive posts. Share with Us. We'd love to hear eyewitness
accounts, the history behind an article.
