Response to “Protestors Don’t Belong Near School”

by | Jun 29, 2010 | 90 comments

Patrick McKenney’s letter to the editor titled, “Protesters don’t belong near school” expressed concerns about us twisting the facts when we “edit it to fit their message”, so lets correct a few inaccuracies with his account shall we? I’m not aware of any protesters, nor did I see any signs saying only “school sucks”, and there was only one “bullhorns” as you recount.

We were engaged in outreach to share our ideas. The signs say “Education Rocks, School Sucks Project.com”, “School Sucks Podcast”, and “School Sucks Project .com”. There you will find recorded audio discussions about public education, hosted by a former middle school teacher.

Patrick, you claim the “original issue” is the people performing outreach. Does that include the religious outreach that put a bible in my hand when I was leaving middle school? Should they be banned from your secure perimeter zone as well? The original issue is theft.

Over 50% of Keene’s property taxes go to fund a $90.7 million dollar budget for approximately 4,950 students, which totals over $18,300 per student per year, An outrageous amount for mediocre results.

The Nashua District Court has ordered their court security officers to seize your tobacco under the authority granted them by RSA 78:12-B.

pssssssssssst! nashua district court: the law you are looking for is here – you should pay attention…. laws do change from time to time.

Quadriplegic Repeatedly Arrested for Medical Marijuana; Faces Jail

Story here.

Oh, but Marijuana users don’t go to jail, right?  Especially the sick ones.

This is the same exact thing that the law enforcement community wants to do to sick and disabled people here in New Hampshire.  You know, part of “Protecting and Serving.”

All the hard work done to lobby the legislature to have common sense Marijuana policy would have easily passed if it were not for all the “Protecting and Serving” the police chiefs and Attorney General spew to the legislature.

Can’t we just leave people who are sick and disabled the hell alone?
