House Republican Leader Dick Hinch issued a statement after reviewing a Facebook post by Rep. Tamara Le (D-North Hampton), where she says, “F**k private and religious schools.” Rep. Tamara Le is a member of the House Education Committee.
The post has since been deleted, but a screen shot can be viewed here.
“It’s more than very concerning to me that a member of the House Education committee has used this type of vile language in a public format. It’s also concerning to me that so many of her Democrat House colleagues commented on and liked the post. Private and religious schools play an important role in many New Hampshire families’ lives. Given this exhibition of online rage, I do not believe that Rep. Le can provide any fair or objective review of policies pertaining to private and religious schools as a member of the Education committee. Rep. Le should immediately apologize to every private and religious school throughout the state, as well as all the students and parents. House Speaker Shurtleff must remove her from the House Education Committee, and he should, in the strongest terms, condemn this type of behavior from her.”
Having served in the House, I do not see how she can continue on that committee. That sort of language is unacceptable in a public servant at any level.
