- “Mr. Speaker and members of the House: It is very sad that we are accepting to not encourage the practice of writing, at least that’s how I’m seeing this. The subjects of reading, writing, and arithmetic used to be the three foundational pillars of education and have long been considered indispensable for society. An indicator of progress in any culture is the percentage of people who can read and write. Progress is being replaced with supposed equity in the state of Oregon. Now Michigan is doing the same thing. If it is to make the playing field equal, I do not believe this is the way to go. As a black woman, this legislation is insulting and will ultimately hurt in the long run.” House Bill No. 5671, entitled A bill to amend 2000 PA 92, entitled “Food law,” by amending section 4102 (MCL 289.4102), as amended by 2012 PA 178. Was read a third time and passed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor, by yeas and nays, as follows:
