As faculty in the Ohio University’s Patton College of Education who are focused on educational policy, teacher preparation, and K-12 classroom learning, we stand in strong opposition to HB 322 and HB 327. These bills are part of a broader legislative agenda across the U.S. that misconstrues classroom practice and educational theory with the aim of stifling essential discussions about racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression in Ohio schools and universities.
