Proposed laws open Ohio kids up to hateful ideology, racist conspiracies

As history has shown time and time again, racism is real and causes real harm to real people.

If two sets of GOP lawmakers have their way, Ohio's children would be shielded from that horrible, but necessary fact and made more vulnerable to believing hateful ideology that is often easier to find online than truth.

House Bills 616 and 327 would bar teachers from discussing racism — a national sickness that officials say led to the massacre of Roberta A. Drury, Margus D. Morrison, Andre Mackneil, Aaron Salter, Geraldine Talley, Celestine Chaney, Heyward Patterson, Katherine Massey, Pearl Young and Ruth Whitfield May 14 at a Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo.

House Bill 327 would also restrict how public colleges and other public entities such as police departments and libraries offer training or instructions to employees, contractors or outside groups about so-deemed "divisive concepts" such as racism, sexism, inequality and religious intolerance.

1. Enough of this re-visionist BS.

History IS. Facts don't change because they may make some small-minded segment of the population uncomfortable. WTF is wrong with this country ??

ENOUGH.

2. Every high school student in the US

should watch these six hours of lectures from Wondrium/Great Courses. I am half through them, and I keep saying I didn't know that.

In African American History: From Emancipation through Jim Crow, join Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Associate Professor of African American history at The Ohio State University, to learn about the African American struggle for freedom and civil rights from 1865 to the 1940s. In 12 lectures, accompany Hasan on a journey from Reconstruction to Jackie Robinson’s first Major League Baseball game, examining the unique struggles faced by Black Americans who were technically free but increasingly limited in what they were able to do.
