Saving Founding of America Documents Curriculum in Ohio.
Your Calls Are Needed!
This
Action Alert is from our friends at the Ohio Christian Alliance (a number of
Ohio groups and organizations are passing along this information; I’m going
with the OCA Action Alert because it provides links to the Resolution itself
and the School Board members who will be voting):
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.
