Should New Hampshire ban discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity in grades K-3?

Therefore, the local community should hold accountable any individual or organization violating this societal norm."

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?

"Support in educating the next generation is a necessary role of society. The result is the measurable. Funding in itself will not improve or harm the student. The student, family, community and local educators need more authority. The responsibility lies with the student, family and local community, however, the authority lies elsewhere. I believe the authority of educating is where change is needed not increased spending for spending sake."
