Megan Tuttle, President of NEA-New Hampshire, provided the following statement in response:
“NEA-New Hampshire is glad to see this vague and unworkable classroom censorship bill fail.
The bill’s confusing language and reliance on subjective interpretation would have forced educators to teach under the threat of lawsuits, discipline, and loss of licensure. This would have created a chilling effect in classrooms that would discourage open discussion, critical thinking, and student engagement.
HB 1792 also advanced a false and harmful narrative of widespread indoctrination in public schools. Our students deserve a complete, accurate, and robust education. New Hampshire cannot afford and should not tolerate policies that undermine trust in our dedicated educators and drive them out of the profession.
We trust educators, parents, and caregivers—not politicians—to ensure the best outcomes for our students.”
