Well.  THAT didn’t take long…

Leftists, liberals, and progressives never give up.   They work tirelessly, incrementally to continue advancing their agenda.

Are liberals on the Ohio State School Board trying to eliminate American History and American Government standards for Ohio students?

On April 3, 2012, Ohio Governor John Kasich signed Senate Bill 165 (SB165), The Founding Documents Bill,  into law, and with it, the Founding of America Documents curriculum, which includes The U.S. Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights, the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers, The Northwest Ordinance, and The Ohio Constitution for students in grades 8-12 with a required end-of-course exam.

On Monday, September 18 and Tuesday, September 19, 2017, The Ohio State Board of Education will meet to reconsider Ohio’s constitutional curriculum passed less than six years ago. On the agenda, a resolution proposing removal of the required end-of-course testing, AND with it, the need for teaching instruction in constitutional studies.

The Ohio General Assembly would have to approve the proposed changes to state-mandated testing, according to the ODE.

The Ohio State Board of Education 24-member “committee” has recommended changes to statewide testing requirements which will ELIMINATE the high school American government assessment for all Ohio high school students. Board members will be asked to vote on this elimination Monday, September 18 and Tuesday, September 19.

PLEASE contact Ohio State Board of Education members at (614) 728-2754 and tell them to VOTE NO on the resolution and KEEP the Founding of America curriculum and end-of-course exam.  Liberals know if they control our children’s education, they control the future direction of our country.

The U.S. Constitution was signed 230 years ago on this day in 1787…how many Americans have actually read it?

We’ve all seen the “man on the street” interviews with college students and adults who have absolutely NO clue how to answer basic questions about American history, American government, or our elected representatives!  Sad, but true.  Do not let this be the case for students in Ohio.

Ohio students must be proficient in constitutional studies, and American history and government in order to understand our representative republic, its founding principles and documents, branches of government, and our rights as U.S. citizens to prevent further encroachment and erosion of our liberty, and indeed, restore it.

“Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.”  – Edmund Burke

“But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored.
Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.” ~John Adams
