Granite Staters react to leaked Signal chat from the NH House education chair

A New Hampshire lawmaker who oversees education policy is facing mounting backlash after leaked messages from a private group chat appeared to promote racially-segregated schools.

Leaked screenshots from an alleged private Signal group chat involving New Hampshire House Education Policy and Administration Committee Chair Rep. Kristin Noble suggest that public schools would see a test score disparity if New Hampshire separated students into different schools for white and non-white children.

The messages, shared in the “EdPolicy2026” group chat, were first reported by Colin Booth of The Granite Post and have since sparked a growing grassroots effort calling for Noble’s removal from the House Standing Committee on Education Policy and Administration.

New Hampshire electeds, organizations, and notable social media creators have condemned Noble’s actions. Mrs. Frazzled, a popular Instagram and TikTok creator, spoke candidly about the leaked chat, calling it “absolutely disgusting.” 

New Hampshire State Representative Alice Wade emphasizes the magnitude of Noble’s words, describing her as “one of the top decision makers when it comes to school policy in the state.” 

The Granite Post reached out to the National Education Association–New Hampshire for a reaction to Noble’s messages: 

“Diversity is a strength, not a weakness,” notes a statement from the organization. “New Hampshire needs and deserves political leaders who are committed to helping every Granite State student build a bright future, regardless of their zip code, race, gender, ability, or their parents’ political affiliations.”

In a Change.org petition started by Londonderry resident Mary Sullivan, Granite Staters are asked to take a stand. 

“Her remarks undermine public trust and the values schools are meant to uphold; for that reason, she should be removed from this leadership role,” she said.

At the time of this report, more than one thousand signatories have called for Noble to be removed from the House Standing Committee on Education and Policy Administration.
