Have you seen Release Time for Religious Instruction (RTRI) policies and religious recruitment organizations in recent news coverage, or suddenly showing up in your local school district? Have you been following House Bill 445, which would force every local district in Ohio to allow students to be removed from school for religious instruction at any time of the day? Are you concerned some organizations might be able to exploit this in a harmful way?
Join Honesty Teams Network leaders learning about RTRI policies, the way some organizations abuse them, and how to effectively share YOUR VOICE at the Statehouse and local school boards. |
