New Hampshire Republicans Respond too Charlie Kirk’s Death with Legislative Push

conservatives in New Hampshire are moving quickly following Charlie Kirk’s death, advocating for measures ranging from stricter oversight of public schools to a new discussion series aimed at fostering “civil discourse and open inquiry” among young people in the state.

“There is no question there is a lot of energy right now,” said Greg Moore, state director for the conservative group americans for Prosperity. “Many on the right are feeling more emboldened and aggressive.”

Republicans in the New Hampshire State House have quickly connected Kirk’s killing to the need for action on key party priorities,including reviewing school curriculum and the speech of public employees.

House Majority Leader Jason Osborne urged his fellow Republican lawmakers to “not shrink from the fight,” which he described as “the current manifestation of the multigenerational struggle of good versus evil.”

“Now is not the time to lower our voices: It’s time to raise them, to dismantle the lies of radical extremism and their platforms of destruction,” Osborne wrote in a September 12 newsletter to Republicans. “We must meet their venom with courage, expose their hypocrisy and call their hatred by its true name, evil. Let us not merely reject evil but confront it boldly, publicly and decisively.”

Osborne has announced he’s drafted a bill called the “The CHARLIE act,” which would prohibit New Hampshire teachers from teaching certain concepts related to LGBTQ+ issues, or from engaging in what the bill deems unconstitutional “indoctrination.” The legislation would also mandate that U.S. history be taught “objectively.”
