Betty McCollum: “Most high schools don't even have an earth science class anymore.”

Mr. Speaker, last week the Republican Majority in the House of Representatives decided that they know better than the residents of the District of Columbia what their local government needs.

I urge the Republican House Majority to stop bringing these harmful and nonsensical attacks on our public health and the environment to the House floor.

I expressed my serious concerns with how this resolution was written then, but nothing has changed.

We cannot afford to abandon these investments during a worsening climate crisis.
