House Passes My Social Media Literacy Bill

Last week, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed my bill, House Bill 2176, which would require that public schools educate students about the effects of social media and mobile device usage, including potential mental, psychological and physical impacts, along with the potential impacts on academic growth and learning.

In addition, the legislation instructs that the curriculum cover responsible usage of social media, including how to identify suspicious online behavior such as cyberbullying, predatory behavior, and potential human trafficking, as well as the best practices for maintaining personal security.

I was proud to introduce this legislation, and I am now calling on my colleagues in the State Senate to bring it to the Senate floor for a vote!

Recognizing the Pennsbury High School cheerleading team

Last Wednesday, Rep. Perry Warren and I welcomed the Pennsbury High School cheerleading team to the state Capitol and presented the squad with a House citation recognizing its national championship.

The Pennsbury varsity cheerleaders captured the national title at the NCA High School Cheer Competition in Dallas in January, while the junior varsity team placed fifth in the nation.

These student-athletes showed incredible skill, determination, and teamwork on a national stage, and they’ve made our entire community proud.
