Nearly 80 NH businesses oppose bill banning critical race theory in public schools

By all means, teach children that America is a fundamentally racist nation. It's good for business.



Nearly 80 New Hampshire businesses and organizations have added their voices in opposition to a bill in the Legislature that would prevent public schools, organizations and state contractors from teaching about systemic racism.

House Bill 544 would prohibit discussing ideas that New Hampshire or the United States is fundamentally racist or sexist, that individuals are inherently oppressive due to their race or sex, that individuals should feel discomfort or guilt on account of their race or sex, that meritocracy and "hard work ethic" is inherently oppressive, and or any other form of race or sex "stereotyping" or "scapegoating". HB 544 was approved in 10-9 vote by the House Executive Departments and Administration Committee and is scheduled to be debated later this week when the full House meets for a three-day session at in indoor sports complex in Bedford. The bill is based on a now rescinded federal executive order issued in November 2020 by former President Trump that restricted federal institutions from using curriculum about systemic racism, white privilege and other race and gender bias issues.

In a letter sent to Gov. Chris Sununu and legislators, the businesses and organizations say the bill would "have a chilling impact on our workplaces and on the business climate in New Hampshire". The letter charges that the measure would be "antithetical" to ongoing efforts to create diverse and inclusive work environments that "support innovative thinking and problem-solving".
