Proposed laws open Ohio kids up to hateful ideology, racist conspiracies [View all]
The Columbus Dispatch
As history has shown time and time again, racism is real and causes real harm to real people.
If two sets of GOP lawmakers have their way, Ohio's children would be shielded from that horrible, but necessary fact and made more vulnerable to believing hateful ideology that is often easier to find online than truth.
House Bills 616 and 327 would bar teachers from discussing racism — a national sickness that officials say led to the massacre of Roberta A. Drury, Margus D. Morrison, Andre Mackneil, Aaron Salter, Geraldine Talley, Celestine Chaney, Heyward Patterson, Katherine Massey, Pearl Young and Ruth Whitfield May 14 at a Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo.
House Bill 327 would also restrict how public colleges and other public entities such as police departments and libraries offer training or instructions to employees, contractors or outside groups about so-deemed "divisive concepts" such as racism, sexism, inequality and religious intolerance.
