New Hampshire lawmakers are debating a bill that would prevent educators from teaching about systemic racism and sexism in public schools and state-funded programs. As members of the Dartmouth community and the state of New Hampshire, we vehemently condemn the potential passage of this bill. It is imperative for issues like systemic racism and sexism to be addressed in classrooms to better educate students on the harmful past of this country. Without this type of content added to the curriculum, there is no hope to move towards an equitable and anti-racist society and we run the risk of making the same mistakes.

The Dartmouth Black Student-Athlete Alliance calls upon all members of the Dartmouth community and the state of New Hampshire to block this bill from passing. Please make your voices heard by signing and sharing this petition! 

Sincerely, 

The Dartmouth Black Student-Athlete Alliance
