From a bill seeking to institute recommendations made by the Commission on Law Enforcement Accountability, Community, and Transparency (LEACT) to a budget provision banning the teaching of so-called “divisive concepts,” the 2021 legislative session has featured various pieces of legislation seeking to both advance – and reverse – diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in New Hampshire.
This discussion will take a look at these pieces of legislation, their reception among legislators and the general public, how these legislative efforts ultimately fared, reaction from DEI advocates, and what other kinds of DEI legislation we might expect to see in 2022.

Keene’s First, Foremost, Best, and Likely Only PowerPoint Improv Comedy Competition Fundraiser
This is a 21+ event for a number of reasons
Presentations start at 7pm
Social hour at 6pm
Apps will be provided and there will be a cash bar
What happens when you combine unpredictable topics, unforeseen slides, and a cash bar? A slide presentation people actually may enjoy! Eight pre-chosen presenters each spin a wheel to get a topic to present on, shortly before they go on stage. They are given a style in which they should present on it, and a clicker to change slides. Behind them is a PowerPoint presentation they have never seen, with slides completely unrelated to their topic. Hilarity ensues. Embrace the chaos, laugh at their discomfort, and cheer on your favorites! Regardless of how terrible the presenters are, you will laugh until your face hurts.
This time, we’re inviting back the “Best of the Rest” from previous Let it Slide events. Fan favorites who, through luck or larceny, did not take home the jargon slayer trophy. The winner is chosen by the crowd – you cast votes in the form of white poker chips (or red poker chip anti-votes that cancel out white chips) in each competitor’s bucket during or after their presentation, and at the end of the night the person with the highest tally wins a crappy trophy! All the money raised by these votes will also be worth money to the non-profit of each competitor’s choosing. Proceeds from ticket sales will support the students of Making Community Connections (MC2) Charter School, in Keene.
