Referred to by the sponsor as the “Charlie Act” and named after Charlie Kirk, HB 1792 is designed to restrict classroom instruction and topics to what the sponsor designates as “neutral” and “patriotic.” The sponsor singles out “gender ideology” and “leftist ideology” as well as a variety of pedagogical categories, specific texts and specific authors, to be excluded from public k-12 classrooms. Despite a similar law from last year currently being held up in NH courts and costing the state tens of thousands of dollars,  this bill seeks to further restrict topics discussed and acknowledged in classrooms in both incredibly specific and incredibly vague ways.
