Amherst, NH (not to be confused with Amherst, MA) is a quiet, upscale community that leans toward the right. The "model" high school, however, is ruled by the "progressives." Buddy, buddy with the teachers and everyone looking the other way has come to this. Maybe the citizens of the town are waking up to the fact that this very expensive school and its administration need to be reined in.
The poem referred to is by the new NH poet laureate (didn't even know we had such a thing), Cynthia Huntington, a prof at Dartmouth. Haven't read the poem but it was supposedly very vulgar and graphic, the subject being her hatred of her ex-husband's girlfriend.

"Excrement smeared on walls, vandalism, theft, drugs and alcohol on campus...audience questioned whether the schools nontraditional approach to education was leading to a lack of respect and behavior problems among the students."
There are days when not only do I feel like I must be 120 years old, but I wonder if the current generation has lost its mind.

We moved out of Amherst last June after living there for nine years. Our son just completed 4th grade there and I was very relieved to know that he wouldn't be condemned to Soughegan High!
"Progressive" is shorthand for "socialist totalitarianism".

Ignorant children make ignorant voters. What more could the democrats possibly hope for?
