About Honesty for Ohio Education
Honesty for Ohio Education's mission is to convene, educate, and activate individuals and communities to protect honest and inclusive education, building a more representative democracy for every Ohioan.
Established in the summer of 2021, Honesty for Ohio Education is a nonpartisan, statewide coalition that believes every student deserves an honest, high-quality education grounded in truth, facts, and diverse perspectives regardless of race, identity, background, or zip code. The coalition serves as a centralized network to educate, advocate, and build community around honest education; the affirmation of all identities, cultures, and lived experiences; and protecting the rights and safety of all students, families, and educators. We do this important work at three critical access points to education: the Ohio Statehouse, the State Board of Education/Department of Education and Workforce, and local schools. Our mission is guided by shared values and community agreements, and rooted in a Race Class Narrative framework. Born from a grassroots effort to combat extremist censorship efforts imported into the Ohio Statehouse, today Honesty partners with almost 70 organizations and thousands of students, families, educators, and stakeholders to advance an honest, inclusive education agenda and build a multiracial democracy.
