We Believe Every child deserves an honest, high-quality education grounded in truth, facts, and diverse perspectives, regardless of race, identity, background, or zip code. Education must affirm, celebrate, and reflect student identities, experiences, and cultures to maximize engagement and achievement. Dismissing racism and discrimination, or minimizing its trauma and impact, harms individuals and communities, and prevents pathways to reconciliation and healing. Learn More |
We AdvocateHonesty for Ohio Education works across the state to combat threats facing honest education three critical access points to education: Ohio Statehouse, State Board of Education/Dept of Education and Workforce, and local schools.
Extremist legislators, education leaders, and organizations are importing harmful, nationally coordinated legislation and political agendas into Ohio that weaponize race, identity, and faith to dehumanize and endanger vulnerable, marginalized communities and dismantle public education. These attacks are rooted in white supremacy values and systemic political violence, and pose a national threat to the promise of a high functioning, multiracial democracy.
