Bill Summary
This bill provides that no education law of this state shall be construed to bar any school employee from teaching the historical or current experiences of any group that is protected from discrimination. The bill also repeals provisions of the law relating to the right to freedom from discrimination in public workplaces and education.
AI Summary
This bill modifies New Hampshire's education and discrimination laws in two key ways. First, it amends the education statutes to explicitly allow school employees to teach about the historical or current experiences of groups protected from discrimination without fear of civil liability. This provision aims to provide educators with more flexibility in discussing sensitive topics related to discrimination and group experiences. Second, the bill repeals existing provisions of state law (RSA 354-A:29 through 354-A:34) that previously outlined protections against discrimination in public workplaces and education. By removing these provisions, the bill appears to be changing the legal framework for addressing discrimination in public settings. The new language emphasizes educational diversity and tailored instruction while removing specific anti-discrimination provisions. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, potentially creating significant changes in how discrimination-related topics can be discussed in New Hampshire's public schools and how workplace discrimination protections are implemented.
