Stop the Ban on Critical Race Theory!
Take Action: Call the Chair of the State and Local Government Committee!
In just a couple minutes, you can make a powerful impact. Legislators take calls from people very seriously.
Please call Representative Scott Wiggam and ask him to oppose HB327 & HB322. He is the Chair of the State and Local Government Committee and can stop both bills from moving forward.
You will likely speak to an aide, or if it’s after hours, you’ll leave a voicemail.
Say something like this:
My name is [name] and I am calling to ask Representative Wiggam to oppose both HB327 and HB322. Both bills would ban the teaching of important topics surrounding race, sex, and gender in Ohio’s schools. The bills would also hurt educators ability to teach current events in their classrooms as well as hurt free speech in school districts all over Ohio.
