NH Gov Condemns Bounty Against Educators Teaching Critical Race Theory

In Summary

Earlier this year, New Hampshire’s GOP-led legislature passed a bill that banned teachers from teaching students certain topics on race, racism, sexism and gender issues. 

New Hampshire’s Republican governor criticized Moms for Liberty for offering a $500 bounty to anyone who reports a teacher for breaking the state law limiting the teaching of critical race theory, according to The Hill.  

Gov. Chris Sununu told NBC News in a statement that he “condemns the tweet referencing ‘bounties’ and any sort of financial incentive is wholly inappropriate and has no place.”

Earlier this month, the New Hampshire chapter of the group tweeted that it would give money to a person who lodges a complaint against teachers through the state’s new system.  

Earlier this year, New Hampshire’s GOP-led legislature passed the bill that banned teachers from teaching students certain topics on race, racism, sexism and gender, including:  

  • A group is inherently superior or inferior to people of another identified group  
  • A group is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously  
  • A group should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment  
  • A group should not treat members of other identified groups equally 

An earlier version of the bill that limited discussion on “divisive concepts” in schools was opposed by Sununu. However, he did throw his support behind the language in New Hampshire’s budget which blocked educators teaching kids that they belong to an inferior or oppressive identity, The Hill reported.
