I'm as concerned as anyone about the fencing off of the expressive space that for generations has been prized in Dunn Meadow. As I've said from the beginning—free speech rights have been historically upheld by our university. They should be upheld today. tinyurl.com/2s3mhv66

🍎📚📝 Happy Back-to-School week to Monroe County students and families!! The first days of the new year are always so exciting! Our kids deserve the best teachers, learning, and future that we can give them. That's why I signed @IC4PE's pledge to support public schools!

We need to properly fund public education, pay teachers and staff better, and set high, achievable standards for student learning. World-class public education is a policy choice: I fight to ensure that students and teachers are safe, supported, & protected in their classrooms.
