Good morning, HB 1122 mandates all high school students in NH learn about hunting, wildlife management, and responsible firearms usage and require the State Board of Education, in collaboration with the Fish and Game Commission, to develop and distribute policy guidelines for school districts regarding these educational courses for students aged 16 and older. UNFUDED MANDATE!!! IMPOSING THE IDEOLOGY OF THE FEW ONTO THE MANY!! What's next, mandating everyone memorize the 10 Commandments? Verses of the Bible? You get the idea and the objection. The bill provides no additional funding or support from the state to ensure safety. At a time when some school districts are having to cut important core programing because of a lack of funding from the state, we should not adopt another unfunded mandate for our schools. VOTE NO HB122. Thank you, Lynn McRae, RN, BS Ed, MALS Dartmouth Lyme
