NH school board rejects 2,841 donated pocket Constitutions

NH school board rejects 2,841 donated pocket Constitutions - EAGnews.org: "WINDHAM, N.H. –
The Windham, New Hampshire school board members wrestled with an apparently controversial topic at a recent meeting:
Whether or not to accept free pocket Constitutions to distribute to students.

After a see saw discussion, in which board members voted against the move before eventually accepting copies of the founding document, district officials seemed dumbfounded about whether giving students copies was the right thing to do, the Union Leader reports.

“It seems like they’re not really standing behind this,” said Webster resident Terry Cox, who wasn’t very impressed by three board members who initially voted against the idea. “These three struggled with how to distribute these booklets once they accepted them and seemed to fear what would happen if teachers personally gave them out.”
