Here are some tips to help you get started. Let us start with some background information.
HB 616 prohibits books, documentaries, lectures and films from being studied and taught in Ohio schools
HB 616 is an anti-free speech measure that attempts to weaponize race and gender in the classroom, withholding state funding from educators who teach the truth. This is the third Ohio censorship bill. Jean Schmidt and Mike Loychik (Ohio Reps.) introduced the bill and assigned it to their House State and Local Government Committee. However, the Ohio Education Association (representing 120,000 teachers) has voiced its opposition to the bill.
HB 327 forbids the teaching of homosexual orientation
A bill was introduced in Ohio House that prohibits the teaching of gender fluidity and sexual orientation to children in grades 4-12. According to the bill's sponsors, the legislation was not written with students or teachers in mind. They didn't realize the consequences. However, the bill does not prohibit students from grades 4-8 from discussing these topics. Students can still discuss their sexual orientations and genders.
HB 616 bans teaching of gender identity
Ohio's HB 616 law is an attempt to ban the teaching and promotion gender identity in K-12 public school classrooms. This bill would prevent educators from receiving continuing education credits for seminars on LGBT subjects and would ban the teaching or promotion of "gender affirming" material in K-12 schools. The law also requires teachers to teach students about sexual orientation and gender identity in a way that is appropriate for them in the fourth through 12th grades. The legislation was introduced in the legislature April 4, and it has already been assigned the State and Local Government Committee. Representatives Jean Schmidt (R-Loveland), and Mike Loychick (3R-Bazetta), sponsor it.
All Ohio K-12 public and privately-owned schools would be affected by HB 327
HB 327, if passed, would prohibit teaching of race, gender and ethnicity in public schools. Ohio schools won't be allowed to receive private money and teachers wouldn't be allowed to teach controversial topics if the bill is passed. The legislation also prohibits any punishment for "refusal or support" of certain concepts. It would also prevent schools from fining teachers who do not comply. Some objectors claim it is too broad, and that there is room for abuse.
HB 327 passed
There are two sides to the issue of HB 327: the supporters and the opponents. To protect children from learning more about slavery, the bill should be passed. Opponents claim that the bill is harmful and will create a false narrative about white oppressors. Others worry that the bill will silence debate on gender fluidity or systemic racism.
HB 327 was challenged in court
HB 327 in K-12 Ohio has triggered a legal battle for the first time. This new law will prohibit educators from teaching their students about race and bias. While the law is currently being debated in court, the opponents argue that it's important to protect teachers' First Amendment rights. They claim the new law will curb academic freedom, a fundamental human right that every teacher has. Further, HB 327 would thwart Ohio's efforts to attract and retain young people.
HB 327 passes
Parents could sue schools and school districts if their children fail to meet state-mandated academic standards if HB 327 is passed in K-12 Ohio. It would also permit parents to sue teachers for their children's academic failures, which could lead to cuts in school budgets. If the bill is passed in a future session, these cuts will be much worse for school districts. This bill will cause more damage than good to Ohio's education system.
HB 327 was rejected by the court
HB 327 is a bill aimed at banning "divisive views" from public university classrooms. It also aims to limit the use or race and gender of teaching. The bill would require teachers and lecturers to remove "divisive concept" from their curriculum. In addition to banning certain topics, the bill could also result in teachers' bankruptcy and the loss of 25% to 100% of their state funding. It could also have a dramatic effect on their status and tenure. Legislative bodies and school boards in many states are already considering such a law.
HB 327 is currently being considered by the Ohio House of Representatives
House Bill 327, which is controversial, targets public schools. It also targets public speakers and public schools who promote topics that could cause discomfort for certain student groups. This bill, which was introduced by Diane Grendell of the state legislature and Senator Sarah Fowler Arthur has failed to pass five times through committee and could never be made law. This is just one reason it is controversial. The bill has many other supporters.
In the case of HB 327, it was challenged
Reps. Diane V. Grenadell, Sara F. Aurthur introduced this legislation to stop the teaching of topics like race, gender, ethnicity and sex in public school classrooms. These "divisive ideas" could lead to students losing class credit. Opponents to HB327 argue that the bill doesn't do enough to protect students.
