ATTENTION PARENTS AND PROFESSIONALS -
SEE PRESS RELEASE FROM HOUSE ED AND LABOR COMMITTEE ON HEARING:
This week the injured and harmed schoolchildren of the United States received recognition from the House Ed and Labor Committee regardingrestraint, seclusion and corporal punishment. iN Tuesday's Hearing, the Government Accountability Office presented a shocking report regarding the treatment of school children to Congress. We have an opportunity to change and craft legislation so that all children are protected in all U.S. schools.
Here is a list of the Full Committee that held the hearing on Tuesday this week. Please CALL EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE AND URGE FEDERAL LEGISLATION TO PROTECT ALL CHILDREN IN SCHOOL. Please note, that many states are not represented on the committee, therefore you will want to include a phone call to your own U.S. representative as well and tell them what is going on. You must CALL and NOT FAX. EMAIL WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED EITHER UNLESS YOU ARE A CONSTITUENT IN THAT DISTRICT.
Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey (California) called corporal punishment 'legalized child abuse'. A national ban from a federal level will happen with your help.
Please call these people today and every day over the next few weeks to urge
legislation to stop restraint, seclusion and corporal punishment.
