HB 42 would require all Ohio public schools to collect and report data about their students to the federal government. HB 42 would create a serious threat to student safety. How can we trust schools to protect our children if state law is forcing them to help place students at risk? HB 42 would have far-reaching consequences. We are already hearing countless stories about people being mistakenly caught up in the government’s deportation push. It makes sense that many legal American families will be too afraid to send their kids to school or school activities. Children’s education and mental health will suffer.
