A right-wing nonprofit organization’s New Hampshire chapter has put a “bounty” out on teachers in the state who are reported for breaking a new law that bars them from teaching “divisive concepts.”
We've got $500 for the person that first successfully catches a public school teacher breaking this law.

When a Twitter user questioned how they could make monetary contributions to Moms for Liberty’s reward, the organization responded to use its PayPal and add “CRT Bounty’s in the notes.”
Moms for Liberty has 135 chapters in 35 states, with more than 56,000 members, according to an October report by The Washington Post. In addition to its campaign against teachings on racism and sexism in schools, the organization has also opposed mask and vaccination mandates, as well as curriculums including LGBTQ+ rights and discrimination.
In response to New Hampshire launching its reporting website, the state’s second-largest teachers union, the American Federation of Teachers New Hampshire, released a statement on Thursday saying the state had “declared a war on teachers.”
