NAACP probes bias against state agencies in Ohio
The NAACP accuses Ohio state agencies of long standing discrimination against minorities and biased funding practices. Brenda Thomas, an ODH employee, alleges harassment and demotion after leading a diverse AIDS prevention group, prompting her lawsuit and removal from supervisory duties. Other officials report similar demotions and trimmed duties, with calls for daily diversity training across agencies.
