​We Believe​​

​Every child deserves an honest, high-quality education grounded in truth, facts, and diverse perspectives, regardless of race, identity, background, 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.

We Advocate

Honesty for Ohio Education works across the state to combat threats facing honesty in education in three lanes: at the Ohio Statehouse, the 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.
