Ohio Gov signs Parents Bill of Rights on religious instruction
DeWine signs House Bill 8 requiring districts to adopt a policy for off campus religious instruction during class time and disclose sexuality to parents. The law, effective 90 days after signing, bans kindergarten to third grade sexual content and mandates parental permission for off campus programs like LifeWise Academy to expand. Joel Penton of LifeWise welcomed the measure as it resumes growth and clearer options for families.
