Two Republican lawmakers introduced legislation in the Ohio House that would combine parts of Florida’s don’t-say-gay law with sections of another Ohio bill seeking to prohibit promoting ‘divisive concepts’ about race in history & current events education.
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Two Republican lawmakers introduced new legislation in the Ohio House that would combine parts of Florida’s don’t-say-gay law with sections of another Ohio bill seeking to prohibit promoting ‘divisive concepts’ about race in history and current events education.
In grades kindergarten through 3, the bill would prohibit the schools from teaching, using or providing any curriculum or instruction materials on sexual orientation or gender identity. In grades 4 through 12, the schools would have to stick with age-and developmentally appropriate instruction materials, lessons and curriculum on sexual orientation and gender identity.
However, it’s unknown whether Ohio teachers would shut down any discussion about, for instance, a student who has two fathers, for fear of the bill.The bill has no co-sponsors. Sometimes an indication of a bill’s popularity is a long list of co-sponsors.
