🚨OHIO 🚨
Ohio lawmakers just introduced a bipartisan bill to help schools offer kosher and halal meal options. It’s a small grant program with one simple purpose:
Make sure Jewish and Muslim students can eat lunch without violating their faith.
That’s it.
No class time lost.
No religious group gaining access to students.
No disruption of instruction.
Just basic equity so kids can participate in the school lunch program like everyone else.
Meanwhile, public schools across Ohio are spending far more time, labor, and resources navigating Released Time Religious Instruction — a Christian-only program that pulls students out of class, disrupts teaching time, and forces districts to rearrange schedules around a private religious franchise. Ahemmm Lifewise Academy…
One is a neutral accommodation that keeps kids nourished and in class.
The other is a carveout that removes kids from class and burdens public schools for the benefit of a single religion.
So when people rage about inclusive meal access but celebrate release-time disruptions, let’s call it what it is:
If the only accommodations you oppose are the ones not built for Christians, that’s not fiscal conservatism — that’s religious favoritism.👏🏻💯
And if you’re imposing religious favoritism on kids?
👉🏻That’s not education — that’s evangelism with a hall pass.
Secular Education Association will always support policies that help students learn — not policies that take them out of learning.
What people are saying:
- Facebook User: The state legislature still refuses to fund free school lunches for all students. Maybe an amendment gets added to do that
- Facebook User: Somehow they managed to leave out fish on Fridays and during Lent for Catholics. That sounds to me like the kind of thing that would be the result of political horse trading on something like this.
- Facebook User: Facebook User nice!
