This smells of a White Nationalist ideology. I am a Boomer and a Historian. There are rational Conservative ideas. I am a fiscal conservative in some respects. What concerns me are the ideologies that are beyond conservative to the point of being across the ditch, over the fence and near the horizon on the right side of the road. The paranoid fear of the loss of white supremacy and the professed victimhood of WASP this thinking only pushes the masses farther to the right which is not good for the Republic. The Article on school discipline did a good job of illustrating that all school are not the same. What works in one will not work in others. That is why having more than one tool in the box is a good thing and exercising flexibility to customize an approach. But the conclusion took the case right over the fence to divide the readers into us and them as does your comment.

The first paragraph of the conclusion betrays your true intent. The use of the word "woke" as a pejorative to infer that the HB318 is a liberal attempt to undermine the public school system is false. To be awake and aware of one's surroundings is preferable to being unconscious of the world around you and delusional in the dream of reactionary (Conservative) myths of the good old days.

As for the Conservative solution presented here, I would simply refer you to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and by extension the Ohio Constitution and ORC.

Woke Up!
