I want you to know that, in closing, I am very supportive of community schools.

What can you actually tangibly do to help desegregate?

So do the school districts and the States understand what you expect of them?

What will you do to prepare teachers? What will you do to prepare the administration? What kind of training, bias training, et cetera, is going to be made available?

I am also very concerned about all of the sort of research that we found lately that demonstrates that children of color, particularly Black girls, are disciplined more than their White counterparts for the same infractions.

I am always interested in equity of opportunity, providing the opportunities for our children to be globally educationally competitive irrespective of where they live.

I also believe very much that we could keep children in school doing both academic and athletic and social involvement after the traditional school hours, keep them off the streets.

I am so supportive of the community school design. I believe that we could co-locate services not only for students, but for even families.

So we know that we had all these problems in the schools anyway--the bullying, the racism, the homophobic behavior even at a very young age.

It is ridiculous. It is sickening, and I want to know how we overcome that with approaching the SEL.

This decision is delaying the availability of that medicine, even though the FDA had already taken it through its procedures.

I am particularly concerned how all of those issues impact black women and the black community and black children.

Hate crimes in this country really target Blacks, Asians, Latinos, LGBTQ, and anybody else that the White supremacists think are just not worthy of our respect and our protection.

I am interested in ensuring that there are buckets or pots of money, resources that are available to our institutions.

I want to appreciate the fact that the Members of this committee have asked very diverse questions.

I would like very much to understand what we are doing specifically and how successful FEMA has been in greater diversity.

Thank you, Chairwoman, for bringing us together.

I agree with you. We are trying to get a greater understanding of how a gun wasn't detected.

I stand ready to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, and for witnesses today to keep our aviation system secure.

This should not be a partisan issue. This is not about gun control, but about aviation security.

We recognize that we are all in this together, Black, Jewish, Muslim, atheist, Sikh, whatever.

That is why it is so important that we understand the necessity of passing a permanent piece of legislation to give the TSOs the right to negotiate these same rights that the airline industry and that the flight attendants are able to…

Last month, Chairman Thompson and I sent TSA Administrator Pekoske a letter urging him to robustly pursue civil penalties against passengers who violate the Federal mask mandate.

The safety of front-line workers and passengers is paramount...

The consequences of assaulting TSOs, flight attendants, or ground-based workers should be made explicitly clear...
