Saving Founding of America Documents Curriculum in Ohio. Your Calls Are Needed!

Liberals on the Ohio State School Board are trying to eliminate American Government and History standards in Ohio.

The State School Board will meet on Sept 18th and 19th to consider a proposal urging the Ohio Legislature to turn the clock back by eliminating the required end of course testing in American Government and History. This will all but destroy what we accomplished six years ago with the passage of the Founding of America Documents curriculum, which guarantees that all 88 school districts teach the founding documents, namely 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 in the 8-12th grades with an end of course exam. This threat is serious to eliminate the Constitutional studies in the classroom.

Since the passage of the Founding of America Documents curriculum bill, SB 165, in 2012, Ohio's school districts have been making good progress in teaching the founding documents in American Government and History standards in the 8-12th grades. One full credit hour is dedicated to the teaching of the U.S. Constitution, The Bill of Rights, The Declaration of Independence, the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers, The Ohio Constitution, and The Northwest Ordinance in the 8-12th grades. The end of course exam is critical to the ongoing success of this program. If it's not in the test, the teachers have proven time and again that they will simply ignore the subject matter. It took the Ohio Christian Alliance more than ten years of legislative work with a coalition of supporters to accomplish this achievement. We are not going to let it go down without a fight, but WE NEED YOUR HELP.

Here are two ways you can do this:

One, contact the State School Board members and tell them to vote NO on the proposal that would change the curriculum of American Government and History.

Two, your financial contributions are needed at this time. We have come through a summer slump and funding is critical to the support of the Ohio Christian Alliance and its mission. Use the link below to make a contribution today.
