Dedicated to defending the right of Ohio educators to teach critical histories and difficult concepts in our classrooms, and to promote the importance of social justice and anti-racism in all Ohio schools and public institutions.

Republicans in the Ohio Legislature failed to get the entirety of Senate Bill 83 passed into law before the summer recess, but Senator Jerry Cirino and his allies aren’t done pushing their racist, sexist, xenophobic, and anti-union far-right policy agenda.
The fight will continue this fall – Stay tuned for updates!
