It's time to call your representative to tell them that you support treating kids as kids. Urge them to vote NO on HB 5140.

It was wonderful to welcome students from Mentoring Male Teens in the Hood @BmoreMentoring to Annapolis. They lit up the chamber with curiosity & big questions. I told them loud and clear, as MD's first African American House Speaker: great things are possible for their futures.

As a former American government teacher, I know dismantling the Department of Education and laying off these critical civil servants will devastate our students, schools, and economy. I’ll use every tool to fight this threat to our children’s futures.
