Ohio Passes Its Own “Don’t Say Gay” Law

In a regressive move, Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio has enacted what's being called a 'Don't Say Gay' law, further marginalizing the LGBTQ+ community by severely limiting discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity in schools. This law, set to take effect in three months, undermines inclusivity and educational freedom, amidst criticism from civil rights advocates and educators who warn of its chilling effects on a supportive educational environment.

Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio has signed into law a critical measure aimed at focusing education on foundational academic subjects, devoid of politically driven agendas. The law, colloquially misunderstood as a 'Don’t Say Gay' law, ensures schools remain a place for traditional learning, free from the encroachment of discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity, which many believe is best left for parents to handle. This law, which garners widespread support, will be effective in 90 days, marking a significant victory for those advocating for educational integrity.
