After an emotional discussion, I voted in favor of SB 452, An Act Concerning the Inclusion of Holocaust and Genocide Education and Awareness in the Social Studies Curriculum. History will repeat itself if young people fail to learn the horrors of the past. Here are my remarks on the House Floor:
My decision to support this bill was not easy. There are benefits that I considered and some provisions in the bill that move us backwards on our efforts to transition from fossil fuels to solar. However, this measure also promotes clean energy steps to get us where we want to go and that's important as well. Please take a look at my remarks on the House floor. SB 9 - An Act Concerning CT's Energy Future
For most parents, the anticipated arrival of their infant children is a joyous and exciting time. But, unfortunately, there are also rare instances where infants have been abandoned, and sometimes left to die. I support a bill passed out of committee this session, HB 5446, which contains language that would require education about the law in public high school health curriculum.
