We Believe Every child deserves an honest, high-quality education grounded in truth, facts, and diverse perspectives regardless of background, race, or zip code. Education must affirm, celebrate, and reflect student identities, experiences, and cultures to maximize engagement and achievement. Dismissing racism and discrimination, or minimizing its trauma and impact, harms individuals and communities, and prevents pathways to reconciliation and healing. Learn More |
We AdvocateHonesty for Ohio Education works across the state to combat three threats facing honesty in education at the Ohio Statehouse, State Board of Education, and local schools.
Certain Ohio legislators, education leaders, and organizations are importing harmful legislation and extremist political agendas that censor honest education about history, race, sexuality, and gender identity; disempower families, educators, and school boards; and deprioritize student safety, mental health, and well-being. More than 42 states have introduced or passed similar laws or actions across the country. Learn more and TAKE ACTION below. |
