STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

 

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty Five

 

A RESOLUTION calling for the removal of the superintendent of school administrative unit 67.

 

Whereas, the general court finds that the superintendent of school administrative unit (SAU) 67, Marcy Kelley, violated the public good and acted against the enumerated rights of citizens of New Hampshire in levying charges of "harassment," trespassed, removed and banned such persons through prohibiting the lawful and quiet expression of protest by parents, guardians and others against government actions impacting their children and community through display of pink colored armbands marked "XX" at sporting events; and

Whereas, such actions were a violation of the parents' freedom of speech, expression, and association, protected in this instance even under any reasonable assertion of "time, place, and manner" restrictions, by prohibiting the right to quiet, and therefore unobtrusive protest of government and by trespassing persons from school property for overtly political reasons; and

Whereas, such actions were in significant excess of any authorities granted to the office of superintendent against New Hampshire citizens and parents of children attending schools and school sporting events within the SAU; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the superintendent of SAU 67, Marcy Kelley, should be removed from this position of public trust.
