The real purpose of NH ‘divisive topics’ bill
Concord Monitor reporter Eileen O’Grady gets the intent of HB 544 correct, but the article does not state the bill’s actual language (“NH bill would bar teaching ‘divisive topics,’ ” Feb. 20). The article says HB 544 would “prevent educators from teaching about systemic racism and sexism in public schools and state-funded programs.” The bill, however, says the state “shall not teach, instruct, or train any . student, or any other individual or group, to adopt or believe” these and other so-called “divisive concepts.”

A few days after it announced a $75 million renovation for the Hopkins Center for the Arts, to be carried out by the Norwegian design firm Snøhetta, Dartmouth College announced it would be permanently closing the Paddock Music Library and the Kresge Physical Sciences Library. The decision renders Dartmouth the only Ivy League school without a music library.
The college’s clinical, corporate news release included the following line: “High-use material from the Kresge and Paddock collections will be relocated to Baker-Berry over the coming months with the remainder of the collections to be housed in the library’s offsite shelving facility and available by request.”
