An important hearing before the House Education Committee is scheduled for this Wednesday, February 8th, at the Legislative Office Building (behind the State Capitol) in room 205-2o7 at 9:45am.
HB514 will require local school boards to develop a policy for responding to parental complaints of obscene material in schools. Please sign in and speak in favor of HB514, letting the committee members know that pornographic and obscene material has been found in some of the school libraries in New Hampshire. When you arrive, fill out a PINK CARD and give it to a State Rep. on the committee so they know to call your name during the hearing.
If you cannot make this public hearing, please send an email to all of the State Representatives on the House Education Committee letting them know you support HB514:
