City Year challenged over MLK Day workshops on “Unpacking Whiteness”

On January 4, 2018, I received an email invitation to City Year’s Martin Luther King Day event (right).   The subject line of the email was “Free Family Event: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!”  Candidly, I thought nothing of it and didn’t open the invitation until after I’d received multiple inquiries, complaints, and statements of indignation about it.  |Keep Reading at Girard at Large.com

School choice poses no threat to great or good public schools

Reviewing his 1/9/18 column, one has to wonder if E. Scott Cracraft intentionally tries to mislead readers, if he just doesn’t care about children getting a decent start in life, if he’s blind to public education’s failures, or if he is afraid that children, educated outside of public schools, might learn to think for themselves and reject his progressive beliefs … or all of the above. | More at GraniteGrok.com

Special exception denied for proposed gun range in Warner

WARNER — A special exception for a proposed gun range was denied on a 3-2 vote by the zoning board Wednesday after nearly a year of controversy.

The first motion made was to approval the special exception, which did not pass in a 2 to 3 vote. After the next motion was made to deny the special exception, the final vote came out 3 to 2.

Chairman Janice Loz said it was a tough case, one that was very controversial in both Warner and Hopkinton.

The proposed gun range was to be built on nearly three acres of land on the north end of Warner Road off Exit 7 of Interstate 89 and close to the intersection of Route 103. It’s about half a mile from the Hopkinton town line. *| Keep Reading at the Union Leader
