A dark cloud of voter apathy looms over public education

As a faculty board chair, I consider that public education in New Hampshire and nationally is beneath siege. I’m dismayed by New Hampshire’s aggressive ways in eroding public education, ways which might be incomes nationwide information protection. It is painful to observe how quickly public education is being eroded with seemingly little response from beneficiaries and supporters. I consider one of essentially the most important contributing elements to the precarious state of our public education system is voter apathy.

The critics and disruptors seem to don’t have any opposition. The few who present as much as vote in native elections or city conferences determine how 100% of the city taxes are spent. The current slashing of the college funds by 20 attendees at city assembly in Croydon is an excessive instance of the problem of voter apathy. The potential ramifications of the Croydon funds discount on New Hampshire public education may very well be extensive reaching and swift. Ongoing voter apathy will hasten the speedy decline that’s underway. Democracy is a delusion with out individuals. It depends on engagement, displaying up, dialogue of completely different concepts, taking part, voting. If you care, become involved. If you select to not be told, engaged, and vote, don’t complain in regards to the outcomes. The contents of this letter are my sole private and particular person opinions as a voter, on no account talking for anybody else.
