Leg_Title: A Resolution for Requiring Registration for Certain Weapons
Line00: Be it resolved
Line01: Whereas: The control placed on automatic and assault
Line02: firearms has been very effective at keeping them from

Leg_Title: Resolution to regulate teacher-student relationships
Line00: Be it resolved
Line01: In the age of “social media” and the internet, teachers and
Line02: students have ever new ways to communicate and work. However
Line03: the status quo of education must be up held if the standards
Line04: of educators are to be upheld.
Line05: Whereas, communicating with teachers by means of Facebook,
Line06: Twitter, or other outlets may be convenient, it may by the
Line07: same hand foster an unorthodox and unprofessional report,
Line08: which may impede the teacher’s ability to assess and educate
Line09: the student in a fair way.
Line10: Whereas, while all students and teachers communicate and
Line11: bond in a classroom environment, such transactions outside
Line12: of a classroom are unmonitored and uncensored, which might
Line13: allow for information to be passed which would be unsuitable
Line14: in a classroom or unprofessional for the teacher to discuss.
Line15: Whereas, such a relationship with a teacher might become
Line16: inappropriately informal, if not illegal, for the teacher to
Line17: be engaging in with his/her student, in a profession where
Line18: personal yet well defined boundaries must exist between
Line19: pupil and teacher, it might easily lead to malfeasance on
Line20: the part of either party.
Line21: Thus, be it resolved, that in the state of Virginia,
Line22: educators are not to be permitted to have electronically
Line23: based relationships with those they teach unless explicit,
Line24: written permission be given by the students guardians and
