Designate Black Ohioan Civil War Medal of Honor Recipient Day
Current Status: Introduced In House
Summary
This bill designates February 20th as 'Black Ohioan Civil War Medal of Honor Recipient Day' to honor Black soldiers from Ohio who received the congressional medal of honor for their actions during the American Civil War.
Rationale
The bill does not align with the Libertarian Party or Libertarian Party of Ohio principles as it establishes a government-recognized day of observance, which could be seen as a form of government endorsement of specific historical narratives, conflicting with the principles of limited government and individual rights.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for government overreach in recognizing specific groups
- May lead to further government involvement in historical narratives
