Parents and others are pushing back on radical curriculums in Ohio schools that promote racial and gender ideologies. The pushback includes 140 clergy members who have announced support for a House bill that would redirect funding from schools to parents.

HB 290, nicknamed the Backpack Bill, "will direct the state's per pupil allocation to be placed into an Educational Scholarship Account for any student who opts in. Parents can use that money ($5,500 for grades K-8 and $7,500 for grades 9-12) for tuition at a private school or for home school. If a student chooses their local public school or community school, the funding will follow them there, just like it currently does."

The clergy from the Buckeye Bible Belt distributed a press release to the media to announce the letter they sent to the Ohio General Assembly.
