Ohio Republicans introduced a House bill on Monday prohibiting 'divisive or inherently racist' curriculum and banning instruction that includes sexual orientation and gender identity.

the legislation would make LGBTQ identities taboo again and silence LGBTQ students and teachers in the classroom.

"Ohio's Don't Say Gay bill is yet another insidious attempt to chill and censor free speech in the classroom. Lawmakers are effectively trying to erase LGBTQ+ people and skew history in their favor," said"Attacks like these are a product of a small minority of people pushing their agenda to dismantle diversity at all costs -- and in the process putting educators and families in jeopardy for political gain," she continued.

Jean Schmidt who introduced the Ohio legislation, say that the legislation is intended to give parents more say over what their children learn.
