George Logan, R-Ansonia, said in an email today:

A bill to prohibit Connecticut public schools from compiling a so-called "Asian Registry" received strong support during a March 8 public hearing at the Legislative Office Building.
Hundreds of taxpayers joined my fellow legislators and me to speak in favor of Bill 359.

Our message:

Connecticut government should not mandate that Asian-Pacific American students register their ancestral nation of origin or ethnic background.
Such a mandate would be an invasion of privacy. 
I thank Lin Yang of Woodbridge for organizing the terrific turnout.
I urge you to join us in speaking out.

1. Send a brief email to EDTestimony@cga.ct.gov saying "YES" to Bill 359.
2. Reference Bill 359 in the subject line
3. Copy me at George.Logan@cga.ct.gov / include your name and town
4. Share this information with friends.

The bill can be read here:  www.cga.ct.gov/2018/TOB/s/pdf/2018SB-00359-R00-SB.pdf

Thank you!
