I am officially having a crisis of identity. I've spent my entire life being proud to be from NH. Lately, that's been slipping. A lot.

Now? Yeah. Not so much. This week, the NH House passed a bill that removes compulsory attendance for school children.

I think I know how the educated people of China, Poland, the Middle East, and many other countries have felt throughout history when the inmates got control of the asylum and systematically destroyed centuries of progress and knocked them back to the Stone Age.

That was just Tuesday's bill. There are a few others, and those people/kids aren't staying in their little bubbles. If they would, fine. I have no problem with some wack-job little cult in the back of nowhere doing their own thing. I have issues with the state of Texas deciding they don't like how history happened and so they're going to re-write the history textbooks.

NH, tied with Vermont for the least religious state does not translate into Texas.

As for making sure they are learning stuff, the bill provides for that with this section: "(i) The child is being educated by a parent, whether or not the education occurs in the child’s home, and the child has attained a reasonable level of academic progress comparable to children of a similar age and ability."
