This year, nearly two dozen states have passed or introduced legislation to censor or prohibit Honesty in Education. These bills restrict how history and modern events are taught, especially the examination of racism and sexism in our nation. Here in Ohio, there are two pending bills, Sub HB 327 and HB 322.

Join us on TUESDAY, AUGUST 17 at 7PM for an in-depth discussion addressing THREE significant threats facing Honesty in Education in Ohio at the Statehouse, State Board of Education, and local school districts. We will also examine the calculated misuse of Critical Race Theory to advance these threats.

Topics include:

• House Bills 327 and 322
• Opposition to the State Board of Education Resolution to Condemn Racism and Advance Equity and Opportunity for Black Students, Indigenous Students, and Students of Color, adopted in July 2020
• Opposition to Honesty in Education and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives at local school boards and districts
• Critical Race Theory
• The impact of these threats on students, educators, Ohio, and democracy
