CAIR-Ohio’s statement on anti-racist education.

by Fadila Gitosuputro in 2021, October, Recent News

CAIR-Ohio is disappointed in the the Ohio State Board of Education’s decision to repeal the anti-racism resolution which outlined crucial steps towards racial equity in Ohio schools. Condemning White supremacy and teaching an accurate historical account of racial injustice does not create division, but rather inspires forward-thinking change. We will continue to work towards racial equity in Ohio schools.
