From a verified voter in Vandalia, OHHB8 I categorically oppose the so-called Parents Bill of Rights. Parents raise their children at home. Their influence does NOT extend into schools.

Veto HB 8. Ohioans want our officials working on real problems- not made up cultural war nonsense that hurts kids and will further drive educators out of their classrooms. Hate is not a good look for you, our officials or Ohio
From a verified voter in Columbus, OHVETO HB8. This bill is not a clean bill and has so many unintended consequences. One of which is making the arts and world languages non-core.

From a verified voter in Columbus, OHSB 104 a Disgrace
The recent passage of SB 104 is a stain on Ohio's admittedly checked reputation. It provides me small satisfaction that those who supported it, including Governor DeWine, will be judged by history just like all bigots.
