eliminating DEI AND the woke agenda in education
There is nothing more dangerous to the future of our children than the radical liberal agenda being forced into our schools. The Left is using Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as a Trojan horse to push identity politics, gender confusion, and race-based discrimination into the classroom.
They prioritize hiring based on skin color, pretend boys can be girls, and actively hide gender transitions from parents—all while our students fall behind in reading, math, and civics.
I’ve been on the front lines of this fight in Ohio. And my record proves I don’t just talk—I get things done.
What I’ve Already Done in Ohio:
BANNED DEI in Higher Education
I helped pass legislation to eliminate taxpayer-funded DEI programs in Ohio’s public colleges and universities. Our institutions should promote excellence, not division.
PROTECTED Women’s Restrooms in Schools
I passed legislation to ensure that only biological females can use girls’ restrooms in Ohio’s schools. Our daughters deserve privacy and safety.
BANNED Boys from Girls’ Sports
Through the Save Women’s Sports Act, we ensured that biological boys can no longer compete in girls’ sports. Fairness and biology matter.
SPONSORED a DEI Ban in K-12 Public Schools
I sponsored legislation to extend the DEI ban to all public education—not just colleges—so the indoctrination ends before it starts.
Helped Restore Parental Rights in the Classroom
I passed the Parents Bill of Rights to make it illegal for schools to transition a child’s gender without informing parents—because no teacher or administrator should ever keep life-altering decisions from a child’s family.
I also introduced the Given Name Act, which goes even further by requiring parental consent—not just notification—before any school can socially transition a child’s name or gender. Parents—not bureaucrats—have the God-given right to raise their children, and I’ll never stop fighting to protect that right.
My Promise to You in Washington:
Ban DEI in all federally funded education
Protect women’s spaces and sports
Stop gender ideology in the classroom
Defend parental rights at every level
Our schools should be focused on education, not indoctrination. I’ll never back down when it comes to protecting America’s children and restoring common sense in the classroom.
