The Senate, after a brief debate, just agreed to put a bill on their consent calendar, which amounts to final action on legislation that would grant high school diplomas to people who dropped out of high school during the Korean War to serve in the military. It’s similar to a bill passed several years ago that gave high school diplomas (they are not degrees, they are diplomas) to World War II veterans who dropped out of high school. Sen. Steve Cassano, D-Manchester, had a great suggestion: to similarly honor the women who dropped out of high school to work for the war effort back in the first half of the 1940s. “I think we should be recognizing those women that made that sacrifice in World War II so that we could have the materials, the food, the home front that was safe because of what they did,” Cassano said. The bill moves next to Gov. Malloy.
