Back in February of 2024, I took to the House floor to give a speech in support of my legislation (HB 1419) that would have:
1. Amended current law so that k-12 education was no longer exempt from our obscenity laws
2. Defined what constitutes something being harmful to minors
3. Put into law a minimum process for parents to appeal that materials were harmful and age inappropriate.
4. Added to statute civil penalties for a school for not complying with the complaint process or not complying with a judgement that the material should be moved or removed.
My speech went through the reasons for the legislation and I also attempted to read from just two books in NH schools: “Here and Queer” in the Hillsboro-Deering school and “Speak” in the Dover middle school.
The video of my speech and the attempts to silence me went viral with over 4 million views on X (formerly Twitter).
Watch the video and see what you think:
UNREAL. At a hearing in NH, State Rep Glenn Cordelli attempted to read from inappropriate books in school libraries. He gets shut down because it’s too graphic. The Democrats freak out and then all vote to not let him continue speaking.
Too graphic for a room of adults… pic.twitter.com/DWjgSiYCN2
