Has your school district already voted down all day kindergarten, a new school, or some other unneeded venture that would increase taxes?<\/p>\n

The latest ploy is that when the outcome of the vote at school meeting is unacceptable to the government, a PR firm will be called in. One of those PR firms is NH Listens, an extension of the Carsey Institute, a left-leaning foundation based at UNH.<\/p>\n

When NH Listens invades your town, they will conduct \u201cListening Sessions\u201d to revisit things you the voters have ALREADY VOTED DOWN at the normal town or school meeting. These sessions are not widely advertised and only a few actual citizens attend. The rest of the attendees are stacked with those who represent special interest groups, usually from outside the state.<\/p>\n

The group will then undergo the \u201cDelphi Technique\u201d whereby they will be put into smaller discussion groups each led by a facilitator who will steer them into the \u201ccorrect\u201d conclusions. This has been done in the Winnisquam school district with all day kindergarten.<\/p>\n

The above listed NH Listens sessions are being advertised with the note that \u201cResearch from the Carsey School and other sources will help frame the discussion.\u201d If you do not want some special interest \u201cframing the discussion\u201d to help a very few people make decisions that will affect your taxes, you\u2019d better attend and make sure the only thing suggested is that they need to return to academics and keep the fads and social justice nonsense OUT of our public schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
