Last week’s heated debate over a bill that would let the John Glenn School Corporation try to annex territory from the South Bend Community School Corporation that began in Indiana House of Representatives and spilled out into the hallway has drawn a response from Governor Holcomb.
When asked about it during Wednesday’s press conference, Holcomb agreed on the need for civility but stopped short of joining calls for racial bias training. “I can, on one hand, understand, kind of, folks feel like they’re on edge on every topic because it’s just such a weighty time, but that doesn’t ever allow us to pitch the golden rule out the window,” the governor said. “We need to treat people like we want to be treated.”
Holcomb said he tries to lead by example and noted that it’s up to Speaker Todd Huston to deal with what goes on in the House of Representatives.
