The ... Read more

JANZ: Are We LISTENING To Ourselves?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-09-23 18:00 +0000

I recently posted an article on mental illness, and the bottom of the article made reference to crimes committed by those with mental illness. More important is the current discussion over the 1st Amendment and whether there are any restrictions on it, as well as what those restrictions might be. Also, whether the government does ...

MACDONALD: Where Is The NH Seminary Funding Fairness Project?

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-09-23 11:00 +0000

A group called the New Hampshire School Funding Fairness Project got an idiot judge to rule that New Hampshire’s funding of special education is constitutionally insufficient. This echoes the Claremont rulings and Con Val, all of which are themselves unconstitutional demands by a branch of government with zero authority to speak on the issue. Courts ... Read more

 I met Charlie Kirk here in Vermont back in November of 2021, when he spoke at the uber-liberal University of Vermont in his “Exposing Critical Racism Tour.” Especially for such a young man, he was profoundly intelligent and confident, exhibiting a Christian faith and outspoken courage that was matched by humility and grace. He stayed ... Read more

In the wake of a rise in teacher firings (for celebrating a public execution), the Massachusetts Teachers Association is demanding that districts and colleges defend their educators. “The ongoing campaign by extreme-right conservatives to discredit and defund public education has grotesquely exploited the shooting death of Charlie Kirk to launch attacks against people commenting on ...

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-09-22 02:00 +0000

I just finished reading a comment in response to a video about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and it got me thinking. This person was, reasonably, wondering about whether it is okay to fire an employee because they had celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death publicly.
