"Defending New Hampshire Public Education" provides resources for citizens concerned about New Hampshire education.

The most interesting articles in each section are shown in the menu but there are normally many more articles under the main heading (except that all the New Hampshire legislation is shown).  You can page down through those or just do a search to find what you are interested in.

The Search, in the upper right, is very powerful and worth using.

Alan Schaeffer (same name as Cato staffer but different person) is probably the single staff for this organization but he was here advising the SB 67 committee on how to write the Education Tax Credit bill.

And, as this web page indicates, he says he's set up an office in New Hampshire.  (You go up the steep stairs to a little landing on which face the "Spank Alley Skate and Board Shop, the Read Dual Gym, a PR firm and, at Mr. Schaeffer's address, an office shared by the Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers and something called "Grassroots Training Central.")

As the organization's mission statement makes clear, it's all about leaving public schools behind.


We believe parents are the natural and rightful representatives and governors of their children’s preparation for life. They possess a sovereignty that is both a right and a responsibility and outweighs any claim a government may make to the lives of children.

From The Alliance for the Separation of School and State:


"The Short Answer:
    • Government schooling stands in direct opposition to the liberty this country was founded on.
    • It fosters unquestioning obedience, acceptance of authority, herd mentality, and dependency.
    • It manufactures "equality" by lowering standards.
    • It discourages individuality, innovation, curiosity, creativity and overall excellence.
    • It undermines families and other relationships.
    • It undermines religious beliefs, values and morality.
    • It fosters social, psychological, emotional and intellectual dysfunction and promotes immaturity and perpetual adolescence.
    • It makes children the victims of political change, special interests, researchers, unions and social reformers.
    • It undermines the ability of parents to provide their children with the quality and type of education they desire for them."
