Watch now as Bob Chiaradio educates the Exeter-West Greenwich, RI School Committee on the recent changes to Title IX proposed by the Biden administration and the Rhode Island Department of Education’s (RIDE) guidance on transgender student rights.
The core mission of the Chariho school system is to prepare students for life. This means, students need to be proficient in reading, writing, and math. And Chariho has failed its students. Over the last 16 years, Chariho has spent a billion dollars. A billion dollars of your money. This is not hyperbole, do the […]
‘DO NOT COMPLY. FIGHT.’ Americans Revolt Against New Title IX Rule In its April 29, 2024 media release, SAVE … a Washington, DC based org committed to assuring fairness and due process in schools … notes how the release of the Biden Administration’s final Title IX regulation on April 19 has triggered a wave of […]
The bureaucrats of the Chariho school district are once again using Hope Valley Elementary School (HVES) as a hostage to extract more money from taxpayers. They first used this emotional blackmail to pass the school budget in 2023. Pass the budget or we will close HVES! Just months after this budget passed, they were actively […]
Chariho is desperate for more of your money. Their stated motivation is the credo, “All kids…all the time.” This is a powerful appeal. Of course, we all want to support the kids. So, when anybody challenges their motivation, it becomes important for them, the biased government special interest apparatus, to attack and discredit the challenger. Right now, Superintendent Gina Picard and Chairman Catherine Guisti have their ire trained on me. The attacks do not bother me. However, it is important to me that you know the truth. Because the growing leviathan of Chariho is drowning people financially by pricing them out of their own homes.
Catherine Guisi is the architect and biggest cheerleader for Hopkinton’s high taxes. As chairwoman of the Chariho School Committee, she knows, perfectly well, that Chariho’s budget is the highest it’s ever been. She also knows that enrollment has never been lower.

Courageous RI is the collusion between federal and state actors to indoctrinate K-12 students, by censoring information they receive in classrooms, under the faux guise of ‘media literacy’ education. It is known to include state government agencies, federal agencies in the state, local advocacy groups, and nonprofits like the RI Foundation.
In a recent stroke of brilliance—or perhaps madness—AI has once again proven its uncanny ability to blend the realms of technology and absurdity. Brace yourselves, folks, because the world now has AI-generated representations of dog breeds for each U.S. state. Yes, you heard that right. It’s like your favorite childhood game of “Guess Who?” met […]
On Monday of this week, a majority of the Hopkinton Town Council, members Hirst, Burns, and Geary, expressed their concern for the proposed $150 million dollar bond being proposed by the Chariho school district. The push for the bond came about fairly quickly, with little school committee discussion, in an attempt to meet a February […]
The Chariho School District is advocating for a $150 million bond that will include demolishing and replacing three elementary schools. A ballot referenda vote is expected later this spring. Their pitch hinges on one key point, that the State of Rhode Island will reimburse the district for up to 81% of the bonds. Reimburse with […]

OPINION: Harvard University and its now former President, Claudine Gay, have been the subject of intense national scrutiny since her embarrassing Congressional testimony on December 5 exposed how shockingly out of touch she and her fellow woke educational colleagues are with mainstream America. What is less well-known, is how the same can be said about […]

From a July 5 press by SAVE (Assuring Fairness and Due Process in Schools) The Constitution defines the authorities and roles of the judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government as having co-equal powers (1). But in the past two years, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) has repeatedly ignored this bedrock principle: In its […]
This past weekend on Saturday, June 17, 2023, the Smithfield School Committee held an open meeting “workshop” in which the public commented on a proposal to require teachers to notify parents if their middle school or high school student child is considering “transitioning.” The crux of the matter is if parents have the right to know if their child is considering “transitioning.”
