It is the right of every representative in the NH State House to express his views in social media formats. But am I asking too much that opinions not be denigrating, disrespectful, misogynistic, racist? On August 10, House Majority Leader Rep. Jason Osborne posted an image where the title โ€œPreview of Democratsโ€™ financial literacy curriculum,โ€ with an image of a Black woman dancer and the byline โ€œDonโ€™t worry about the money.โ€

I am always interested in substantive discussions about improving curriculum. And I am always going to stand up to racism. Please watch your rhetoric, Mr. Osborne. You are a leader. There is a better way to promote your educational ideology and encourage dialogue.
