Sheila Jackson Lee: “Let me conclude my remarks by saying that, across America, children…”

On the recordMay 9, 2014

Let me conclude my remarks by saying that, across America, children are bullied every day, and across America, parents are baffled by the educational system. Any time that you can reinforce this idea of transparency, I believe that it is an important step forward, and I would hope that my colleagues would be able to support this amendment. I believe it is a strong, but positive amendment. I yield to the gentleman from Minnesota for an inquiry, please, to the chairman of the committee. What modification could occur with this amendment? It is a strong amendment that is supported by educational groups, and it just reinforces, I believe, in a more specific manner the intent of H.R. 10.
