A new bill would ban DEI programs in Ohio schools, with some Republican state senators saying diversity, equity and inclusion leads to indoctrination.
Senate Bill 113 would ban DEI in K12 public schools and community schools. Sponsored by Sen. Andrew Brenner (R-Delaware), the bill had its first hearing on Tuesday in the Senate Education Committee. In the first committee hearing, Brenner said DEI programs oppose Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision, and said DEI is modern discrimination.
“Doctor King dreamed of a society in which individuals are judged by the content of
their character, not the color of their skin,” Brenner said. “However, DEI-driven policies in K12 education reject this fundamental principle by enforcing race-based preferences in
curriculum, hiring and student discipline.”
