Ohio Lawmakers Pass Bill that Lets Religious Views in Public School 🏫

The Ohio House sent to the Senate on Wednesday a measure that would prohibit public
schools from penalizing students for some work that contains religious beliefs. Critics have called the bill unnecessary or valuing religion over secularism. One critic said under the bill, if a student turned in homework saying the earth is 10,000 years old – a belief held by some creationists -- they couldn’t get docked in their grade. However, the bill’s sponsor said it was more nuanced than that. Rep. Catherine Ingram, a Cincinnati Democrat, also questioned whether the bill simply repeated religious expression freedoms in the Constitution, or if it violates the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment, separating church and state.
