S.B. 1 focuses on what Cirino calls “free speech,” banning public universities in Ohio from Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, having “bias” in the classroom and limiting how “controversial topics” can and can’t be taught. "Controversial" under Ohio law includes "belief policy that is the subject of political controversy, including issues such as climate policies, electoral politics, foreign policy, diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, immigration policy, marriage, or abortion."

The legislation also mandates students to take a civics course to graduate.

So...

They're not allowed to teach civics, but kids have to take civics?

If anything this is gonna make those kids more leftwing

Like, back in the day when kids got caught drinking underage so they had to work "sober nights" at student centers, and then all of them got shit faced after the event.

Forcing kids to do shit like this has the opposite effect.
