John Klar: Gender indoctrination in Vermont schools

As a matter of law, young children cannot properly assess the risks of taking testosterone, let alone surgically mutilating their bodies and embracing infertility. “Confidentiality” has been the UVM Trojan horse by which that consent is shamelessly circumvented.

Matt Krauss: An open letter to Vermont voters

Perhaps we should be judging the applicants based upon their accomplishments, problems faced and overcome, and solutions they provided to help Vermonters. Not what they want to do, but what have they actually done.

Roper: This is what vote fraud in Vermont really looks like

The Brattleboro Reformer is reporting a story of potential voter fraud in regard to a vote on the closing of Windham Elementary School. This case has echoes of one from Victory, Vermont, back in 2017, wherein a number of non-residents participated by absentee ballot in an election for town clerk.

Flemming: Two tax increases proposed to lessen Vermont’s pension crisis

When Vermont’s Legislature appointed the Pension Benefits, Design, and Funding Task Force, there was a good chance tax increases would be discussed at some point. Now, Vermonters have a little clearer idea of what those could look like.

John Klar: The Democrats’ new one-party system

Political scientists have long cautioned about the threats to democracy of a two-party system. Is it rocket science to comprehend the problem with the left’s monolithic effort to become the sole political party in America?

Keelan: The season of giving has come much sooner than expected

Who expected the giving season to come in November rather than December? More surprising is the giver, the Governor’s Offices of Massachusetts and Connecticut. What a wonderful present, especially to those of us who are fossil fuels users.

McClaughry: Vermont’s four plans to defeat climate change

The Global Warming Solutions Act created a 23-member Vermont Climate Council to develop a Climate Action Plan strict enough to reduce carbon dioxide emissions 80% over the next 28 years. Vermonters can weigh in on this collection of proposals during the coming legislative session, and on Election Day 2022.

Letter: Rutland Town requires masks in public indoor settings

Presumably this mask ordinance was enacted for the protection of the public’s health and safety in Rutland Town. It comes complete with fines for violators that increase with the number of offenses.

John Klar: America’s Taliban — the unfolding religion of the far left

This far-left insanity is the New American Taliban, melding with government to enforce its insane edicts, untested, on our nation and children. It must be opposed as the Jonestown arsenic cult that it is.

Did Common Core standards contribute to slide in eighth grade math scores?

An alternative and worrisome correlation is the introduction of Common Core Standards. Released in 2010 and implemented between 2013 and 2015, Common Core Standards are a collection of curriculum and teacher standards, including a national list of topics students should learn in each grade.

Poll: Americans overwhelmingly support religious rights and freedoms this Thanksgiving

As we approach a holiday established to thank God for His blessings on our nation, the American people still believe that our rights come from God, not from government, and that the right to believe and practice our religion must be respected.
