If you want to understand why it is important to actively oppose SB 83, watch this video. And then follow Honesty for a Ohio Education and take action. @Honesty4OhioEd

[Honesty For Ohio Education @Honesty4OhioEd]

Sen. Cirino provided testimony on Senate Bill 83, the Higher Education Destruction Act, to the House Higher Education Committee this morning. Rep. Weinstein asked whether professors would be forced to teach “both sides” of the Holocaust.

@Jarrett_Lerner If Kapla blocks aren't on your radar screen yet, I give them all the thumbs up! A little expensive, but such a beautiful tool for creativity.

Thanks, @CRCarter313 for organizing a beautiful #octela23 (and hyping up @ncte in Ohio in November 2023!). Ohio folks, let's be sure to heed the brilliance of @jasminewarga and @juliaerin80 - put books in kids' hands; read poetry; share stories. AND work for @Honesty4OhioEd !!!

[Lisa Vahey @lvahey]

14 years of sometimes tweeting, sometimes reading your tweets, and often feeling conflicted about the power of social media. Now squarely in the awkward teenage years, with gusto. Thanks, friends!

@michelle4ohio @Honesty4OhioEd This is terrific outreach, Michelle - TY!

Despite the Ohio Board of Education being a non-partisan position, it has become increasingly polarized in recent years.

Rev. Dr. John Lentz, another pastor from Cleveland Heights, spoke out against the resolution: "Thinking that this issue that is before you is some kind of fad without some kind of real-life consequences is naïve and dangerous," he said.

@Honesty4OhioEd Thank you to Rev. Andy Burns from @kingaveumc for sharing testimony from young people in his congregation! "Our students know as well as any of us do that bullying starts with words but it doesn’t end there," he said.

[Lisa Vahey @lvahey]

@kurtsenior_ your commitment to honest and complete teaching is a gift for your students and us adults learning from you, too. And I love that you center joy as the interview wraps - reminds me of the work @GholdyM and @BLoveSoulPower are doing. So grateful for you!

Thank you Forbes for the candid interview. #NTOY22. https://t.co/PXV1iQ3ciP

Here is a tiny bit of reprieve re: HB 454.
It is not justice.
I'm listening to the amazing and inspiring @MariaBruno01
I encourage each of us to stay vigilant; continue to learn, organize, engage in this lame duck session. Following @Honesty4OhioEd to stay updated.

"My hope is that people will take a long, hard look before they try to pass bills that are full of government over-reach & take personal, private medical decisions away from parents & kids & overrule the expertise of doctors"
