The best of today's comments from Patch account-holders in your town and neighboring communities.

NEW CANAAN: "More regulatory overreach by the state. So now the state can force you to buy a product because they think it's good for you? Where exactly do they get this power? How, exactly, would this be enforced?" wrote this in response proposed legislation that would .

WESTPORT: "The problem is not the teachers. It is the administrators and B of E members that have never taught or have been in a classroom making decisions for the classroom.

I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" is fallacious and disingenuous.
