BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD After four people were killed and dozens were arrested at a mob Wednesday in Washington, D.C., leaders from Baltimore County Public Schools encouraged both families and educators be open to discussing the matter with students.
Superintendent Darryl Williams and Board Chair Makeda Scott said people should make space for students to talk about and process the mob attack on the Capitol, in a letter issued Thursday.
Here is the letter:
Dear Team BCPS students, families, and staff:
This week, U.S. Senators Todd Young (R-Ind.) and Mike Braun (R-Ind.) voted to confirm Thomas Kirsch’s nomination to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, which passed the Senate on a 51-44 vote. Kirsch will fill the seat previously held by recently confirmed Supreme Court Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
“Thomas Kirsch’s qualifications, experience, and temperament will make him the kind of judge that every Hoosier can be proud of. Throughout this process, Kirsch has made it clear that he believes in the rule of law and he understands the role of a judge is to apply the law and Constitution as written. Today, the Senate agreed Thomas Kirsch is the right judge to fill the current vacancy on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and I trust he will serve with distinction for years to come,” said Senator Young.
