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.”
