diversity-5541062_640I don’t have many tweets that automatically come to mind whenever Ohio is mentioned, but the two that do should cross your mind whenever Ohio’s race and education policy decisions pop on your timeline:

 

Now that that’s out the way, 5 law schools in Ohio just dropped their race based scholarships and programs. The Center Square has coverage:

Pressure from a Columbus-based policy group has forced five university-based Ohio law schools to stop race-based scholarship or internship programs.

The Buckeye Institute announced law schools at Cleveland State, Ohio State, Akron, Cincinnati and Toledo stopped the programs after it announced an investigation.

Glad that groups are targeting the real threat to our democracy: people getting money so they can attend school! The impacted schools are Cleveland State, Ohio State, Akron, Cincinnati and Toledo. They won’t be the last. Public universities all across the nation are likely to follow suit — few things put a damper on solidarity like getting sued over it.
