Congressman Harris: The Maryland Teachers’ Union is Obstructing Free Speech

-Maryland Congressman Andy Harris Releases Statement on Protests of Donald Trump Event-

WASHINGTON, DC:
Congressman Andy Harris (MD-01) released the following statement in response to the Maryland State Education Association’s call on the Worcester County school system to cancel Donald Trump’s rally at Stephen Decatur High School:

“The Maryland teachers’ union should be ashamed of their undemocratic and hypocritical protesting of Donald Trump’s event in Worcester County. Their protest is a national embarrassment to Marylanders. Stephen Decatur High School is a publicly owned forum and the hardworking taxpayers on the Eastern Shore deserve to hear from the leading Republican candidate for president, as well as any other candidate running for president. The very people who are supposed to be teaching our youth about our constitutionally protected First Amendment right to free speech are obstructing it. The Maryland teachers’ union is the real bully here, and I believe they should apologize to Mr. Trump, as well as the hardworking people of the Eastern Shore, who deserve to participate fully in the election process. I applaud the Worcester County school system for agreeing to host this historic event.”

The teachers union is pathetic. Wonder if they would still protest if Bernie or Hillary were visiting. Doubt it.

Trump can afford to rent buses if they are needed. Why would they want to bus Sby residents to the event? They are the trouble makers.

This sounds like Ireton engineered this! Now if it were a homosexual convention they'd have the Decatur Marching band with rainbow flags and Ireton leading the prancing!
