Some of you may be wondering what is happening with the MAPP bill. On Thursday the 11th of March, the bill was debated on the floor of the Senate and was sent to the amending order to add a sunset clause. The Senate should go to the amending order on Tuesday. MAPP should then be sent back to the floor and pass.
There is only one Senator that is actively fighting against it, Senator Gary Schroeder from Moscow. What I find interesting is that each of his arguments used to defeat MAPP are actually reasons to support MAPP. For example, he suggests that we will have 13 year-old youth going to college.
I didn't know we were slowing kids down that much. But, if most kids could get through high school by age 13, as he suggests, then we really need to pass MAPP, let students finish early and then solve this problem of young people ready for college at age 13. Too many students ready for college at too young of an age seems like one of those problems we would like to have.
