McClaughry: Maine decision points the way toward universal school choice

Last week’s decision moves much closer to that sweeping requirement: all parents — not just tuition town parents — must be given their choice of approved public schools, non-sectarian independent schools, and sectarian independent schools.

Roe reversal a victory for the Tenth Amendment, states

The opinion should be welcomed by all Americans, as it will breathe life into the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

John Klar: South Africa, Vermont and social justice

The progressives attacking our laws, culture, and people with fabricated evidence and foreign ideologies are peddling a destructive, counter-productive toxicity that will fail as miserably in the Green Mountains as it has in South Africa.

What impact would a gas tax ‘holiday’ have? Not much

Biden’s proposed gas tax holiday is a ploy to distract from the serious energy-related issues brewing under the surface. Unless Congress acts or the administration reverses course, those issues will continue to fester.

McClaughry: When the government isn’t held liable for destroying homes

One of my favorite organizations is Institute for Justice, that defends citizens whose property rights are trampled by governments. One recent case is that of Vicki Baker, who lives in a suburb of Dallas.

John Klar: Shelburne Farms’ new ‘woke’ revisionist history far from the truth

Though the true history of our region’s Abenaki is forever lost, the history of the Webb family who invested their “white privilege” wealth to create and then gift Shelburne Farms to Vermonters is well established: The Webbs were zealous abolitionists.

Tom Evslin: Buying an EV in Europe now helps Putin and hurts the environment

For at least the next year, each new electric car —  or appliance or heating system — means more coal must be burned. Running cars on gasoline or diesel is far less polluting than running them on electricity generated from coal.

McClaughry: ‘Stop telling kids that climate change will destroy their world’

I have said not that “climate change” itself is a scam — climate is always changing — but the frantic campaign to combat it has become a scam. The climate doomsayers need to rethink their message.

VISA update: Supreme Court rules in favor of public funds to religious schools

Thayer: Time for real solutions to gun violence in schools

This week on these steps the Senate Democrats took a victory lap on this past session’s legislation — but no protection for school children from violence. I’m tired of Democratic reps calling for more gun grabbing and controls. It does not work.

John Klar: A perfect storm for crop failure

Water cuts for the Southwest translate to reduced crop yields for the nation. Lake Mead is a barometer of an unsustainable water bankruptcy for America’s most productive agricultural region, at a time when inflation is ravaging fertilizer, food and fuel prices like a raging flood.
