Especially is it contains the word “gay” or “lesbian”, i.e. gay Biblical play at MA high school.

I don’t understand how normal people can stand living in that screwed up state.

Some of us have no choice. But we're working on it.

My kids graduated from H.S. in MA and now 3 of my grandkids are in the same school district. I’m happy to say that excellence in academics and in sports is strongly supported. They have awards night for those who achieve scholastically and awards banquets for the athletes. There is tremendous parental support and if they ever did away with either of these there would be hell to pay.

I know that is the perception. I consider myself to be normal (who doesn't?) and I know I am a real conservative.

I live here, and with the exception of the politicians, the liberals and having to drive behind their cars (these aren't MA cars, but they LOOK like them)...

There is a lot to like. I have lived all over the world and in a lot of different states, and I came to love it up here when my dad retired from the Navy and moved back up to his hometown.

There are beautiful beaches, Cape Cod in the off season is wonderful. The White Mountains in New Hampshire are nice. Boston is a great city, very walkable. There is history, museums, etc.

The politics make me gnash my teeth.

neither can I , neither can I.
How anone can live in those kind of states is beyond me, but then knowing the state takes your money and gives it ot the left wing agendas like homosexuality is sickening

Most normal people there want to move to Maryland to get away from it!

Funny thing is, Ipswich isn’t all that liberal. I wonder what the parents think of this?
