Rep Dittrich on Curriculum Transparency

in the interest of day Korum I won't laugh out loud here with some of the things I've heard today but um I am definitely laughing a little bit inside because um you know it brings me back to the days when I had children at home and uh they would go he meant to do that this is what he meant to do and I'd go don't you ascribe false motives to your sibling that's not nice well I'm hearing that very Behavior here on the floor of the assembly uh Mr Speaker and um it's sadly comical um contrary to what you've heard today this is not red meat for the Bas um I happen to be a legislator that works in my community whether you have a d an R an i or nothing after your name and um interestingly this whole curriculum transparency Bill really did come up during covid and my own School District um started working on um making things you know getting ready to put them on their website to make it more public because they knew that this was coming and actually it's helpful for the schools because then they don't have to mess with a lot of this parents can go right online and see what's being taught in the classroom I think it also uh does a lot to um really remove myth of what is being taught in the class room you know uh light is the best disinfectant isn't it um so to me this is is uh you know these accusations are just rather silly to me this is a way to rebuild that bridge of trust between parents and schools because we do want parents and schools working together it's not targeted at Public Schools I'm a public school graduate as are all my children and my spouse we support our public schools and as a matter of fact I just saw the curriculum director yesterday in the grocery store after school and he thank me for all I was doing here in the legislature um this should be something simple so that parents can see what's going on in the classroom and work together with the schools instead of this continued fractiousness Mr Speaker the vote screen
