HOUSE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS

5028 Requiring teacher preparation programs to integrate Native American curriculum developed by the office of the superintendent of public instruction into existing Pacific Northwest history and government requirements Would be wonderful if we could trust the OSPI.

5307 Creating alternatives to total confinement for certain qualifying offenders with minor children. ??? Can see both good, but also danger in this

5598 Granting relatives, including but not limited to grandparents, the right to seek visitation with a child through the courts. ??? Sounds really good, but I can see lots of abuse by relatives that “love” the child in the wrong way, want to stalk a parent, etc. I think parents have a right to say who sees their kids period.
