This is NH. The more states that do this. The more they can ask the supreme court to make it federal.

I wonder if whomever even introduced that bill even had children.

@Starcrossed I'm sure they do but they are probably privileged enough that it won't directly affect them.

The sponsor is Dan McGuire, married for 43 years apparently. I can't find any mention of children so perhaps you are right. They are however vice chair of the Education Funding committee so it would be reasonable to assume they have some knowledge of children. But here's an odd thing with regard to the removal of engineering and computer science as required subjects:

Dan is an angel investor and retired computer engineer. He graduated with a PhD in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT in 1986, worked for four years as an assistant professor of computer engineering at UC Santa Cruz, and then was a software development manager for 8x8, Inc. in Santa Clara, CA.

@ninalanyon the one that really saddens me is personal finance. Many/most of my peers have all wished we'd have recieved better instruction on that in our secondary school days to prepare us for adulthood. I just don't see that content being integrated into math class. I suppose its removal could be encouraged banks and credit companies lobbying.

History/civics/government/geography doesn't surprise me given the direction our country seems to be taking and considering what is known about project 2025.

Tech/engineering surprises me because it's counter intuitive to one upping our global adversaries.
