Related: About this forumOhio Republicans Want Teacher Curriculums Shared Online
https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2022/01/03/ohio-republicans-want-teacher-curriculums-shared-online/9054152002/At first blush this might not seem like a bad idea although parents already have access to the school curriculum. What is interesting is one small paragraph in the article:
And he (state representative Brett Hudson Hillyer R-Uhichsville) thought it could tone down some of the rhetoric at school board meetings about divisive concepts like slavery and racism.
So the problem is actually laid bare by Hillyers own words. Racism and slavery are too divisive.
Divisive for who? Those who were and are the target of racism? Or too divisive for delicate Republicans?
Merely one more example of Oh-Alabama-io.

if they don't keep their nose out of education teachers will resign en masse. Then politicians can teach. But I know in my area there's too many republicans to do that. As a matter of fact the majority of them probably agree.

Of course this is not about education. Which of the right wing is against anyway

you shouldn't have to sue to find out either...
Then again, if a parent was so concerned about what their kids are taught, maybe.... IDK....
see what your own kid is being taught? They do have reading, assignments and tests, right?
Sounds more like publishing it for these loony people who may not even have kids to dig through for politics...
