Oppose Banning Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Schools

DEI initiatives play an important role in supporting students with disabilities by promoting their inclusion in mainstream classrooms rather than segregating them. Banning DEI efforts risks reverting to past harmful practices of separating students with disabilities instead of providing an equitable, inclusive education alongside their peers. Maintaining robust DEI programs in Ohio schools ensures all students, including those with disabilities, receive the supportive and welcoming learning environment they need and deserve.
