New Ohio Law Stops Teachers From Talking To Kids About Sex Behind Parents’ Backs

In a sense, the bill turns Ohio schools into mandatory reporters, but to parents instead of government officials.

On Jan. 8, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed into law the “Parents’ Bill of Rights.” This law requires public school districts to craft policies that encourage parental involvement in their children’s education, particularly areas related to sexuality and religion.

“If you’re a parent, you want to be informed of what’s going on in your child’s life,” DeWine told reporters. He continued: “The parents are the best teachers. They’re the first teachers; they’re the best teachers.”
