Ohio's Slick and Dirty Trick, Diane Ravitch Bill Phillis

IN Ohio, t he HB290 crusaders have produced and sent a fundraising mailer -- 7 page letter  warning  recipients that public schools are indoctrinating our children into radical anti-Christian ideology, “Critical Race Theory, and trans advocacy”. “They are being trained to hate America”, the letter says. They evidently combed through the classrooms of Ohio and found 4 students whose teachers were doing something that hinted at support for CRT or other controversial issues. They didn’t mention the 100,000 plus public school educators that are working selflessly to grow upstanding citizens." This  latest gambit from the Republican privatizers called “the backpack bill,” symbolizing the idea that each child has a “backpack full of cash” to spend in any way their family chooses. They really need to see the wonderful  NPE documentary “Backpack Full of Cash.”
