A former New Hampshire middle school teacher has pleaded guilty to criminal charges stemming from violent, sexual threats that he sent to a state lawmaker who sponsored legislation calling for a ban on the teaching of critical race theory in New Hampshire public schools.

“I truly hope you get skull [expletive] to death you pathetic privileged white [expletive] boi,” Daniel Rattigan, who taught for the Allenstown School District, wrote in one of his messages to New Hampshire state Rep. Keith Ammon, a Republican.
