School Board Discusses Warrantless Searches on Homeschool Families

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-03-11 20:00 +0000

Homeschooling is this awful, terrible thing where parents and guardians remove children from the failed public school experiment and (drumroll) teach them how to read and do math. A State’s AG has suggested allowing unannounced warrantless searches of homeschoolers… in the name of public safety.

We don’t have the entire conversation (below), but this clip of the Michigan State Board of Education discussing the question is enlightening. The matter at hand appears to be an issue with kids in foster care who are not in public schools, presumably homeschooled, and potentially subject to …safety issues or abuse. The idea is that either the kids or the homeschools need to register so they can be randomly audited or (my words) swatted if the state receives a complaint that there may be abuse occuring.

In other words, the State Justice Department wants to run random warrantless raids against anyone with kids at home who are not attending public schools, probably at the behest of teachers’ unions and the Democrat politicians they bought.

The board members who speak are not only clearly against this idea but for all the right reasons.

The first speaker sets up the discussion and enumerates several problems with the idea. The last (the clip is just under 8 minutes) knocks that pitch out of the park, which is not what I expected when the clip landed in my digital lap.

A few teasers.

  • ‘Public Education is not safer than homeschooling.
  • Public education safety needs a complete overhaul before we can claim that homeschooling leaves students more vulnerable.
  • They are making specific choices to not be in public education so that they can access a curriculum we are not choosing to administer to them…and there’s nothing wrong with that.

As you watch it, ask yourself if the idea of warrantless searches of homeschools is something that could or does happen in your state and whether your school board(s) would condone it. And if it did, what would you be prepared to do about that?

Note: There is a meme circulating that has the warning (warrantless searches) without any of the good stuff from the actual video circulating the internet).

Note 2: I wrote this long before I saw the meme.

Here’s the clip.

Two Dubious “Extremely Rare Occurrences” in Windham’s Elections

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-03-11 18:00 +0000

The Windham Incident on November 3, 2020 that produced the largest numerical discrepancy in the history of NH between an election day result and a subsequent recount exposed over a hundred violations of election laws and procedures by Windham’s election officials.

Since then, Windham’s election officials have continued to violate election laws and procedures in the subsequent federal election cycles. Those violations are identified in multiple reports that were written by the NH AG, NH SOS, the NH Deputy SOS and NH Assistant SOS.

Official Response 2022 Complaint
2024 Windham Election Monitor Report – January 23, 2024 Presidential Primary

Related: BREAKING: NH AG ADMITS to ANOTHER Seriously Flawed Election In Windham

But instead of taking responsibility, Windham’s election officials and their friends falsely claim they are the victims of baseless attacks, and counter with nasty character assassination attacks against those who simply want accurate elections that follow the laws.

The inability of Windham’s election officials to follow election laws during the November 3, 2020 election led to the dubious distinction of having an election monitor appointed for the September 13, 2022 primary. According to Secretary of State William Gardner, “the appointment of an election monitor to oversee an election in this state is an extremely rare occurrence.”

The violations of election laws in that election led to yet another election monitor appointed for the January 23, 2024 presidential primary election.

With the continued inability of Windham’s election officials to follow election laws in subsequent elections, Windham has now had an unprecedented two “extremely rare occurrences” by having election monitors appointed in two consecutive federal election cycles – and Windham’s election officials still failed to follow election laws and procedures in both of those elections.

The Government Integrity Project (www.gipamerica.org) put together three full page ads (here, here and here) and a direct mailer to inform Windham voters of the recurring failures of Windham’s election officials as identified in the multiple reports mentioned above. Election officials and their friends falsely call them lies and a smear campaign. Honest people know it’s the truth.

Every Windham voter should download and read the reports written by NH’s highest ranking law and election officials regarding Windham’s elections in 2020, 2022 and 2024 from the NH AG’s and SOS’s offices and decide for themselves who is telling the truth… and then cast an informed vote.

Here are the ads that were posted in the local paper.
