I love this. Glad to see other perspectives jumping into the release time for religious instruction game. Let’s see if Ohio’s senators still feel as strongly about the need to pass SB293 (forcing all district to have RTRI policies) now that it’s not just about evangelical Christianity.

The Ohio constitution is quite clear: "...no preference shall be given, by law, to any religious society..."

But the majority in the legislature have ignored the constitution before

SB293/HB445 (mandating school districts allow religious release time during school day) would trample Ohio's tradition of local control for schools. Parents & community members w/in each school district are best positioned to make the choices that work for their local schools.

🎉Celebrating successful bills from this session!🎉

SB293/HB324 will extend anti-bias training to county board of education members to help ensure that they are well informed of their role in preventing bias, prejudice, and hate. Thanks to bill sponsors Sen. Brian Feldman and Del. Marc Korman!

Contact your Ohio Reps & Senators to stop SB293 & HB445. They require public school students to leave campus during the day 4 religious instruction during non-core classes (art,music,PE,etc). Takes religious decisions away from parents & guts the quality of these programs
