Extra Credit Opportunity: Testify at the Legislature

Since you are all now experts on Columbus Day, you can receive extra credit if you testify or e-mail the House Education Committee about Columbus Day.

Bridget Smith (D – Wolf Point) is proposing a bill to change Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day in the school system. The bill is coming up for a hearing Friday at 3 pm (in room 137).

You can also receive extra credit if you send an e-mail to these committee members by today at 9:00 p.m. The e-mail should be professional, courteous, and express your views clearly. Make sure you reference the bill number (HB 514) in your e-mail, which can certainly include excerpts from your essay this fall. Please print the e-mail you sent and give it to me in class on Monday.
