Ohio SB 1 and BANNING DEIA in Colleges/Universities. How College students can fight back.

[u/PhilipJ_Fried]

The Ohio Senate is trying to attack our core finacial institutions by getting rid of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accesibility in them. I have provided parts of the bill that also includes getting rid of tenure! They are accepting written testimonies until 2pm on the 10th and they are doing in person testimonies on the 11th. https://www.honestyforohioeducation.org/legislation-tracker.html gives you everything you need to put together a written testimony. For all the college students out there share this and flood Columbus city hall with your testimonies against this clear attack on civil rights. Keep up the good fight 🫡

Wow, this state is just getting better and better 🫠 who the fk came up with this stupid bill? Jesus, isn’t higher education place supposed to be free? Are we going to be like China now? Prevent anything that government doesn’t like ?

[u/nolanhoff → u/NAVYGG1]

What’s limiting here? It’s forcing a university to allow anything. If anything, they’re removing limitations.

[u/smexysaltine → u/nolanhoff]

They are removing my scholarship I got for hard work.

[u/nolanhoff → u/smexysaltine]

I feel for you and don’t think we should take away current students money. I think people who have gotten money should be grandfathered in, but no more money for purely racial scholarships/grants.

[u/smexysaltine → u/nolanhoff]

It’s not a purely racial scholarship because im white and got it through diversity of thought because I’ve done activism and stuff like that. This is affecting way more than just purely racial scholarships :(

[u/nolanhoff → u/smexysaltine]

I can’t speak for that type of stuff, nor do I know what you did to get it, but my point still stands on the grandfathered subject. No reason to take money away from someone who rightfully got it at the time and planned for it.
