❌ SB113
Prohibit diversity, equity, and inclusion in public schools
Summary
The bill prohibits diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in public schools by mandating school boards to adopt policies that ban related training, offices, and hiring practices. It requires the establishment of a complaint process for violations and outlines penalties for non-compliance. The bill applies to all city, local, exempted village, and joint vocational school districts in Ohio.
Rationale
The bill restricts educational content and initiatives related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of personal liberty, freedom of expression, and parental rights in education. Both the LP and LPO platforms emphasize individual rights and oppose government interference in personal and educational matters.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential infringement on individual rights and freedoms
- Increased government control over educational content
- Negative impact on the inclusivity and diversity of educational environments
