The Exodus has begun!
Parents are unenrolling their children from Maine’s government-run K-12 indoctrination centers faster than you can say, “Gender Identity Disorder.”
More than 10,000 Maine students are now being home-schooled — a 50% increase from the 2019-2020 school year! That’s according to statistics from the Maine Department of Education, so the real number is very likely higher.
Of course, the dolts who run MDOE are alarmed that so many Mainers have pulled the plug on their local grooming parlors. Check out this barely literate bleat from Marcus Mrowka, Director of Communications at the department:
“Public schools are critical to our democracy and a way that kids can come together and learn the skills that they need to thrive. So we would hope that more parents would choose to send their kids back to public schools in the years ahead, and we are providing those supports to schools and to educators in order to make Maine public schools the best places they can be for schools.”
I can’t even begin to unpack that dumpster load of delusions in this brief missive, so let me cut right to the chase.
I hope you will join me and the Maine First Project team one week from today — Tuesday evening, July 18th — at Jeff’s Catering in Brewer for our inaugural “Pizza & Politics” event from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. It’s a FREE buffet, and the menu includes assorted pizza pies (including gluten-free), chips, pickles, cookies, coffee, and chilled drinks.
Don’t miss this opportunity to get together with like-minded Mainers who are committed to fighting fire with fire in the culture wars that rage around us.
The agenda for our “Pizza & Politics” evening will be less structured than one of our Activist Trainings, so there will be plenty of opportunity for discussion and Q&A.
By the time we meet next week, I expect we will have a better handle on Portland’s plan to relocate 600 so-called “new Mainers” to the dorms at Unity College, 92 miles north of Portland. That will be a topic for discussion when we get together at Jeff’s Catering.
And don’t forget, we will be hearing from my good friend Jim LaBrecque, Maine’s foremost energy expert. Jim will give us his take on what’s at stake in this fall’s ballot initiative to authorize the seizure of Maine’s electric grid by politicians in Augusta. Yikes!
I hope you’ll join us for a lively conversation about these topics and more, in Brewer at Jeff’s Catering on Tuesday evening, July 18th, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm for Maine First Project’s inaugural FREE “Pizza & Politics” event.

P.S.
Maine parents are voting with their feet to abandon the K-12 indoctrination centers that have done so much psychological damage to the next generation of Mainers.
With a 50% increase in the number of home-schooled students over the past three years, even the career bureaucrats at the MDOE can read the handwriting on the wall.
