The same applies to my plan for implementing legislation to lure New England firearms manufacturers to the state. Since its founding, Vermont has been a bastion of gun rights, although recent debates on the issue suggest otherwise. Why let Smith & Wesson, Remington, Colt, and Ruger decamp to southern states – or right next door, to New Hampshire – with developed gun cultures and legislatures willing to provide tax-based incentives, when they could in some cases move 150 miles or less across the border into Vermont.

Rather than try and replicate – again, for the benefit of educators and bureaucrats – everything that has failed or is failing in the country at large – like large school districts, increased student-to-teacher ratios, and standardized testing – why not embrace Vermont’s heritage and be thankful that we’re actually blessed to have small schools with low student-to-teacher ratios where kids can relate to their own local communities and develop a strong sense of place, something that research shows is way more influential to a child’s development than a standardized test score. In the long run, isn’t that far more preferential than busing kids 30 miles so that teachers can implement better “professional development training and planning” for themselves? Learn more
