In this week's addition:
In this week's addition:
Next week in the NH House Looking forward next week continues to be a busy one. The House will meet in a full session on Thursday, March 16th to address a number of important topics. The top of that list will be HB 514 the Book Ban Bill. HB 514 comes to the House with no recommendation from the Education Committee. This is the bill that seeks to let some parents ban books that they deem inappropriate for everyone in their local school district. While a parent has the right to decide what his or her own child may read, he does NOT have the right to dictate what materials all children in the district have access to. The bill also expands the power of the Commissioner of Education to push the banning of books and other materials. You can also read the testimony of AFT-NH President Deb Howes in opposition to HB 514.
Action Needed - Oppose Book Banning (HB 514)   Please contact your state representative before Thursday and ask them to vote against HB 514. You can find your representative at this link Contact Your Representative.
Have an idea for the Just for Fun section? Send it to Adam (president@nashuatu.org).
