Potential Lebanon diversity panel could be at odds with NH’s ‘divisive concepts’ law
Modified: 7/20/2021 9:24:53 PM
LEBANON City councilors are expected to hold a public hearing and vote Wednesday evening to create a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commission, though a legal opinion does raise some caveats for city officials to consider.
The commission is intended to provide education and opportunities for conversations and to “bring the community together and bridge the divide to the extent it exists regarding diversity, equity and inclusion,” according to a memo to councilors from the city manager, who recommends passage of the measure, which requires amending city code.

Lebanon officials parse new ‘divisive concepts’ law
Modified: 7/1/2021 10:01:20 PM
LEBANON City officials are trying to determine whether their plans to create a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commission could run afoul of a new state law that critics say limits discussions about systemic racism.
Gov. Chris Sununu last week signed into law a two-year budget that includes prohibitions on teaching children that they’re inferior, racist, sexist or oppressive by virtue of their race, gender or other characteristics.
His fellow Republicans have argued the so-called “divisive concepts” measure strengthens anti-discrimination laws, while Democrats say it could prevent implicit bias training and halt efforts to educate people about structural racism and sexism.
