I am the Chief Author of SF 3567, the Omnibus Ed Policy bill. The bill contains the Library Bill of Rights, also called the Book Ban Ban. Protecting students' right to information is paramount in a free society. Thanks to all that helped pass this bill.

Celebrate the signing of our Constitution today on Constitution Day. On September 17th 1787 when the delegates signed our framework for government Ben Franklin was asked what type of government was devised he replied "A republic if you can keep it".

There are many ways to celebrate National Literacy Month. You could go to a library with friends and family, join a book club, or stop by a Little Free Library to donate or pick up a book! I hope we all continue reading for pleasure now that school has started! #mnleg

To all the students, parents, and educators out there heading back to school tomorrow, I wish you all the best year ever. I hope you all have wonderful “Back to School” dreams tonight.

This “vintage” photo is from one of many out of classroom experiences my students led me on.

At 11am of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the War to End All Wars ended.  In 1921 we interned a soldier in their final resting place at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington. Seeing and hearing Taps play is the top of my reasons of why I am proud to be an American

According to article 13 of the MN constitution, a Republican form of government is dependent upon the intelligence of its people.

Teaching our kids about civic duty can never start too early. Take your children to vote with you on this Election Day! Go vote!

After today’s hearing at the MN Supreme Court on Trump’s eligibility to appear on the ballot, questioned under amendment 14 section 3 of the US constitution, I met with students from @bsmredknights and got a chance to ask what was on their mind as students and future voters
