Under the guise of concern for their fellow New Hampshirites and wanting to honor their slain “hero,” two Republican extremists have filed two separate bills. One aimed at what can be taught in public schools (always a favorite target) and the other would be interfering with RSA 98-E:2. They have called this the “Countering Hate And Revolutionary Leftist Indoctrination in Education Act.”
Rep. Mike Belcher R-Wakefield, wants to remove leftist indoctrination in public schools, (what, no private schools? How about home schoolers?) The vague language in this bill says “no teacher, school or district shall engage in practices that promote purposeful division, dialectical worldviews, critical consciousness, or anti-Constitutional indoctrination." What does that even mean?
In addition to also filing the above mentioned bill, House Majority Leader Rep. Jason Osborne R-Auburn filed a separate bill aimed at “removing statutory freedom of expression protections for state employees who encourage or condone violence against civic leaders.”
Uh-oh, someone needs a reminder; RSA 98-E:2 Interference Prohibited. – “No person shall interfere in any way with the right of freedom of speech, full criticism, or disclosure by any public employee.”
"You are not allowed to be an employee of the state if you are supportive or encouraging of the assassination of an American citizen," Osborne said.
He should talk . . .
Fun fact: A 2021 study published in the journal Criminology, Criminal Justice, Law & Society analyzed ideologically motivated extremist killings from 1990 to 2020. Forty-two incidents of politically motivated homicide, or 15.6% of all incidents, involved far-left. On the other hand, far-right extremists were responsible for 227 incidents, 84.4% of the total.
Perhaps Osborne should look to his own House for those who “encourage or condone violence against civic leaders” as the majority of it doesn’t appear to be coming from the left. Same goes for the lack of shame when caught doing something illegal or unethical; Now we know the reason for Rep. Troy Merner's sudden resignation! | DemocracyNH
