Senator Jon Bramnick, representing the 21st district, has announced plans to propose a bill for the creation of the ‘Joint Legislative Statesmanship Task Force.’ This initiative aims to instill the importance of civility among K-12 students and highlight respectful interactions in daily life.
According to Sen. Bramnick, “Schools are the ideal settings to begin teaching civic virtues since young people spend most of their waking hours learning in classrooms and interacting with their classmates and peers.” He emphasized that, “During an era in which hostile political rhetoric and political violence has increased, it is imperative to emphasize civility to students in the State and to highlight the experiences of decision-makers who have effectively deployed the virtues of civility in order to enact positive change.”
The draft legislation for this proposal is available for public viewing.
