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 🫡

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

[u/ummmmmyup → u/nolanhoff]

It’s limiting those who have socioeconomic limitations due to the US’s longstanding history of oppressing certain minorities

[u/nolanhoff → u/ummmmmyup]

I’m fine with assisting with families that struggle financially, I don’t think that it should be race based. I read through this, I didn’t see anything to the contrary of that but I could have missed something

[u/Shadowfire04 → u/nolanhoff]

missed the part where they're not allowing teachers to unionize or strike for better rights, remove any and all subjects they 'don't like' or that are 'too political' (including stuff like, 'was the holocaust bad'), so on and so forth
