Republicans are bullies. They have unearned power and don't know why educated, thinking, and skilled people want nothing to do with their small minded hatred.

They’ll never discover they’re the baddies.

COME VISIT THE MANDATORY FREE SPEECH* ZONE OR ELSE.

But these conservative centers aren’t popular with students. Only 159 OSU students out of the more than 67,000 were enrolled at the Chase Center for Civics, Culture and Society in 2025, according to state data. That is .2% of the campus.

It would be funny, if they weren’t gearing up to force the youth through their re-education centers. Article says they have a supermajority.

Republicans are doubling-down on the brain-drain, I see.

If I were a student in that state, I'd make it crystal clear why I'm transferring out by referencing this bullshit. Loudly. To everyone - my classmates, those in charge of the college, the legislators behind it all, and any social media I had access to.

How many hours a year will a student have to waste time listening to such propaganda?

Hm, that's weird, because the conservatives in things like the Seven Mountain Mandate would be quite happy with forced attendance of the "right" churches, too. Weird how that works. Words like "freedom" and "liberty" and the Constitution mean very different things to wingers. In their view, the Constitution was written to create a xtian nation, and people being free to ignore all their bullshit and xtians being treated just like any other religion is absolute tyranny. Same goes for all their views on everything "woke". If normal people were able to ignore them as the crazies they are, they view that as oppression. They are only "free" if the government is there to indoctrinate ridiculous absurd conservative dogma onto everyone else, under the threat of violence if needed.

I can remember when lots of Tone Police/Murc's Law dumbasses would come riding into just about every conversation to declare it's "both sides" that are "just as bad".

Oh, wait, never mind, many of them are still doing this kind of stuff...no matter how awful the conservatives get, there is always a certain type of person waiting to come in and remind everyone that Democrats are just as bad, and they allowed this, etc...

Under his bill, the center directors have the sole, exclusive and unlimited authority to oversee, develop and approve the center's curriculum. They would also have all control over hiring and tenure.

OSU's human resources department recommended that the Chase Center fire a civics center professor after he tackled a cameraman, according to WOSU.

Bangup job, then.

Conservatism is indistinguishable from satire, at this point.

How many were just there to further legit academic studies in fascist propaganda and abnormal psychology?

S.B. 1 focuses on what Cirino calls “free speech,” banning public universities in Ohio from Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, having “bias” in the classroom and limiting how “controversial topics” can and can’t be taught. "Controversial" under Ohio law includes "belief policy that is the subject of political controversy, including issues such as climate policies, electoral politics, foreign policy, diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, immigration policy, marriage, or abortion."

The legislation also mandates students to take a civics course to graduate.

So...

They're not allowed to teach civics, but kids have to take civics?

If anything this is gonna make those kids more leftwing

Like, back in the day when kids got caught drinking underage so they had to work "sober nights" at student centers, and then all of them got shit faced after the event.

Forcing kids to do shit like this has the opposite effect.

Literally teaching ignorance.

I went to The Ohio State University, this sickens me. What a fucking joke. They are shoving literal republican propaganda into higher education, and when nobody signed up for it, they're now going to force them.

One of the "teachers" there was already fired for attacking a student.

They're evil, they're stupid, and they're going to force your children to sit down and "learn" their ignorance. I truly despise republicans.

From the party that claims the left is indoctrinating people, mandatory right wing classes!

It's everywhere. I heard a comparison between the American revolution and the French revolution and thought that's an interesting topic. Went to YouTube, top 3 videos were from "In God we trust", "Rebel news", and "the heritage foundation".

Bruh... They interviewed D'Laveance Bert-Sims. There is no way they sub to the right.

Something something I dont want my kid indoctrinated something something

Gotta force that propaganda.

Indoctrination? Not possible! That's a Democrat thing...

/s just in case.

Students say they want real education, not what Sabrina Estevez calls propaganda.

Not what is propaganda.

Shocker...

If there's one thing that will get the youth to agree with you, its the Ludovico technique.
