HB324 would criminalize New Hampshire's K-12 educators, school libraries, and school boards. If the proposed bill passes, censorship, political penalties, and charging teachers and librarians with crimes about textbooks, art books, and library books will be allowed in New Hampshire. It threatens the integrity of New Hampshire’s schools and brings the national culture wars to every town. 

It would eliminate local school board authority to set collection policies and centralize decision-making about books in the hands of the State Board of Education. If passed, both of these bills would move us further away from New Hampshire’s long and proud tradition of local control and parental say in education.

Please take action now to stop HB324 and SB33 to protect our schools, our school boards, and our educators and librarians from this highly political situation. Contact your state Senator and Representative now and ask them to vote NO on HB324. Then, share this call to action with your neighbors, local parents, and anyone who cares about the right to read and local schools.
