Bill > HB1792

This bill, effective September 1, 2026, amends existing law to prohibit educators in public schools from purposefully teaching, instructing, or compelling pupils to express belief in or support for concepts such as the inherent superiority of one group over another based on characteristics like age, sex, or race, or that individuals are inherently racist or oppressive due to these characteristics. It also clarifies that discussing the historical existence of such ideas within a larger academic context is not prohibited, and a purposeful violation by an educator would be considered a violation of the educator code of conduct, subject to disciplinary action by the state board of education. Importantly, this bill removes the ability for individuals to file a civil lawsuit against a school or school district for violations and instead directs them to pursue remedies through the New Hampshire commission for human rights.
