Following leaked messages, NH House Republican education chair says she favors politically segregated schools


Hours after the release of private messages purportedly showing the Republican chair of a House education committee advocating for “segregated schools,” the lawmaker publicly said she supported separating schools by political party.

“Republicans have been self-segregating out of the leftist indoctrination centers for decades,” wrote Rep. Kristin Noble, the chair of the House Education Policy and Administration committee, apparently referring to public schools.

The College bound generally in track A and the less well performing and proto-dropouts in track C. There was a track B as well.. this was many years ago and was quite predictive, at least of eventual polical leanings.

Or in the case if my C track compatriots,

Translation: We republicans prefer right wing indoctrination centers. It's easier to maintain the "intellectually purity" of our white children.
