New Hampshire House Bill 1419, relative to prohibiting obscene or harmful sexual materials in schools, is on the floor of the NH House today, and it’s causing quite a stir. The bill prohibits material that is obscene or harmful to minors in schools and creates a procedure for removal and cause of action.
Republican Bill Boyd reportedly introduced a floor amendment to gut it. That amendment died a glorious death 358 – 17. Rep. Cordelli (Actual Republican)then used the opportunity that followed for debate to read graphic excerpts from a book found in NH Middle School.
Rep. Marjorie Smith Lucy Webber (Democrat) objected. The vote to stop Rep. Cordlelli failed, after which Democrats, who want this crap in the schools, began walking out.
Dems object to the middle school. material being read from the well.

The bill has since been tabled with the help of 7 Republican defectors (It can be pulled off the table at any time when the majority thinks it has the voted to pass it or kill it, as the case may be). [update] it happened. Democrats killed it later in the day.
