Ohio “Don’t Say Gay” Bill Would Also Ban Teaching of “Divisive” Concepts on Race

HeadlineApr 07, 2022

State lawmakers in Ohio have introduced a bill modeled after Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law. The bill would ban teachers in some grades from discussing “sexual orientation or gender identity.” The bill would also prohibit the teaching of what the lawmakers describe as “divisive or inherently racist concepts.” Examples cited in the bill include critical race theory, intersectional theory and the 1619 Project.
