A second bill seeking to ban critical race theory in Ohio schools entered the Ohio legislature on Tuesday.
State Rep. Don Jones, R-Freeport, brought the bill to prohibit critical race theory an academic concept focusing on the effects of race on all aspects of American society, particularly as systems were created that negatively impacted communities of color along with “action civics” from the state’s K-12 curriculum.
“Students should not be asked to ‘examine their whiteness’ or ‘check their privilege, ” Jones said in a statement. “This anti-American doctrine has no place in Ohio’s schools since we passed our founding documents curriculum mandating the Declaration of Independence, Northwest Ordinance, Ohio Constitution and the U.S. Constitution be taught to all students.”

West Perth has taken steps to create what was unused space adjacent to their wetlands to establish a pollinator garden.

A bird watcher, Newman frequented the wetlands more often after graduating from Queen’s University with a biology degree in the spring of 2020. Her plan to continue her Master’s degree in ecological restoration was curtailed due to COVID, so she’s been able to focus on this project.

Teaching so-called “critical race theory” would be prohibited in Ohio’s K-12 classrooms under a pair of bills introduced Tuesday by Republican state lawmakers that are similar to legislation introduced nationwide by GOP lawmakers.
Instructing students that one race or gender is inherently superior to another or that individuals could be considered racists by virtue of their skin color, would be prohibited under a bill introduced by GOP state Reps. Diane Grendell of Chesterland and Sarah Arthur of Geneva-on-the-Lake.
