New Hampshire Public Radio hasn’t vanished yet, so it appears there is an audience willing to support it. That’s how it should be. Taxpayers ought not be required to fund right-wing “radio, either, or its internet side gig, ANY alleged slanted reporting, or goofy, misleading NHPR headlines like this one.
Republicans will try again to set limits on discussions, materials, and bathrooms in NH schools.
That’s NH Public Radio (NHPR). A suitable opposing and more honest take might read something like, Republicans will try again to protect children from groomers, pornography, and sexual predators in public schools.
NHPR’s headline leads into a report on “New Hampshire Republican lawmakers [trying] again to enact several education bills in 2026 that were vetoed by the governor or rejected by federal courts.” To NHPR’s credit, they actually quote republican sponsors, but the headline and lead make it a pointless exercise.
Republican censors are trying to do an end run with awful bills to subvert the courts, blah, blah, blah. It’s their webspace, and they can spin it how they like, but NHPR ought to consider all the materials you can’t find in schools and discussions you can’t have as a result of a decades-long growing ideological slant that actually censors access and is intolerant to certain types of center-right and religious speech.
How about a discussion on why sexually explicit material and oversexualized class discussions are the likely root cause of the distress leading to a spike in reported cases of mental illnesses among children in Public schools?
Might this spike be manufactured as a result of the books and discussions Republicans are hoping to limit?
How many detransitioners can expect equal and uninterrupted time as guest speakers in classrooms or before the entire school population?
You could invite a news anchor or a public board member to explain why it’s okay to expose children to material they can’t read in public or on television news broadcasts.
Law enforcement could be invited to discuss why, if a stranger on the street were giving other people’s children this material, they could be arrested and end up on the sex predators database and legally prohibited from close contact with children.
Or, why that might be why Republicans keep proposing bills to limit or restrict a child’s access or exposure to such discussion or material.
Not much hope that NHPR will go anywhere near any of that, but then, that’s why we’re here.
