In recent weeks, there have been troubling indications that legislators have been meddling in Ohio’s State Board of Education and pushing an extreme agenda based on politics and disinformation instead of the educational needs of our children.
Every child in Ohio — no matter their color, background, or zip code — deserves access to a quality public education rooted in an honest and comprehensive curriculum. Unfortunately, politicians and media pundits are using scare tactics and outright lies to enact bans that may prevent educators from being able to present honest, unbiased history lessons on important topics like slavery, the civil rights movement, treatment of Indigenous Americans, and the wartime internment of Japanese Americans.
Take action now to oppose House Bills 322 and 327. These bills would put politicians, not teachers, in charge of determining what is taught to Ohio students, and would even ban efforts to improve diversity and equity in Ohio’s public schools.
