Ohio Republicans Want Teacher Curriculums Shared Online [View all]

https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2022/01/03/ohio-republicans-want-teacher-curriculums-shared-online/9054152002/

At first blush this might not seem like a bad idea although parents already have access to the school curriculum. What is interesting is one small paragraph in the article:

“And he (state representative Brett Hudson Hillyer R-Uhichsville) thought it could tone down some of the rhetoric at school board meetings about ‘divisive concepts’ like slavery and racism.”

So the problem is actually laid bare by Hillyer’s own words. Racism and slavery are too “divisive.”

Divisive for who? Those who were and are the target of racism? Or too divisive for delicate Republicans?

Merely one more example of Oh-Alabama-io.
