Critical race theory is currently not part of school curricula in Ohio.
DeWine said he’s “already stated” that he’s against critical race theory. “As far as sex education, I don’t know anybody that thinks that first graders, second graders, third graders should be receiving sex education in school,” the governor said, adding he’s also against “men competing against women.”
