Members of the LWV Hudson protested on Saturday in Cuyahoga Falls during the nationwide Hands Off events. They had signs calling out the attacks on our democracy, federal job layoffs, the invasion of privacy, abolishing the Dept. of Education and other federal jobs and agencies, social security, and our constituion. 

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Friday signed into law a massive higher education overhaul to ban diversity efforts, regulate classroom discussion, and prohibit faculty strikes, among other things. The law will take effect in 90 days. 

 S.B. 1 will set rules around classroom discussion, create post-tenure reviews, put diversity scholarships at risk, create a retrenchment provision that block unions from negotiating on tenure, shorten university board of trustees terms from nine years down to six years, and require students take an American history course, among other things.
