The 2022 sequel to this year’s ‘divisive concepts’ debate is about to get underway, and it involves an obscure Cold War-era anti-Communist law enforcing “teachers’ loyalty” wmur.com/article/new-ha… #NHPolitics #WMUR
.@NHHouseGOP co-sponsors of HB1255 say the intent is to stifle Marxism, Socialism & the 1619 Project in public education, not to avoid difficult subjects. @cordellifornh: "It's perfectly valid to talk about the history of our country & what we've gone through." #NHPolitics
Manchester NAACP President @jtmckim is troubled by this attempt to prohibit the teaching of racism's role in America's founding. He says the white supremacist views of the Founding Fathers are historical fact & "permeated the way they crafted the Constitution." #NHPolitics
We asked co-sponsor @EricaForDerry how she thinks teachers should approach a subject like the Three-fifths Compromise in the United States Constitution if HB 1255 -- which explicitly prohibits teaching that the U.S. was founded on racism -- was to become law. #NHPolitics
NH Board of Ed's @ryanterrellnh opposes CRT, but says HB1255 goes too far: "What conversations can we have that acknowledge the... deep-rooted racism in our country, but also acknowledges our country is a great place... and empower students to learn about both sides." #NHPolitics
Rep. Layon responds to reaction to her above statement re: how HB 1255 might apply to a subject like the 3/5’s Compromise. #NHPolitics
