| Monday, March 4th, N.H. House Education LOB, Room 205-207 12:30 p.m. – OPPOSE –HB1610 This bill has generated a lot of chatter. According to the bill title, it requires public school standardized testing for students who accept an Education Freedom Account (EFA). However, the bill text applies to all children in “all learning environments”, ie, public school, private school, charter school, homeschool and education freedom account. Meaning if you send your child to private school or homeschool them and do NOT accept an Education Freedom Account, you would still need to send your child to public school for standardized testing. RebuildNH opposes how this bill is written, but also opposes the intent, which was for it to just apply to EFA students. This is how they poison pill school choice programs- by forcing students back into the system in the name of “accountability”. We know that public schools teachers “teach to the test”. We also know that public school standardized tests are now based in Common Core. Parents who choose to take their children out of public schools are seeking to educate their children differently. They don’t want to have to tailor that education in the same way that occurs in public school in order to perform well on a test that was designed to test the specific curriculums used in public schools. We are asking that you attend the hearing to oppose this bill. We need to generate a large crowd. Click here to register your disposition.

Senate SESSION OPPOSE – SB559 This bill seeks to redefine the term “vaccine” because according to current definition, the state of NH illegally purchased the COVID-19 “vaccines”. According to this proposed definition, any “vaccine” that is approved by the FDA, will be approved for the NH vaccine association purchasing program. The FDA approval can include the conditional approval of emergency use authorization, which has a significantly lower safety threshold than licensure vs. full licensure, which requires clinical trials. There is an effort to floor amend this bill to leave the definition of vaccine the same, but to allow for mRNA “vaccines”. While this is a slight improvement, RebuilNH opposes this amendment as well. mRNA technology has proven to be a dangerous technology and the state should not be encouraging its use.
