Ohio's wingnuts are always coming up with some new way to roll back the clock.
A woman named Carla Hale was a teacher for Bishop Watterson High School for 19 years.
A couple weeks ago, the Columbus Doicese finally figured out that Ms. Hale is gay and fired her for violating a "morals" clause in her contract. She has filed a grievance and is fighting to get her job back.
I'm not a member of that particular flock, but if I were, I think I'd have to return my Catholic membership card.
Here's a link to a Change.Org petition, if you're interested:

Not to be outdone by antiquated religious doctrine,
the Republicans in the Ohio legislature are going back to the 1950's to oppose sex education, of all things. Led by Finance Committee Chairman Ron Amstutz, the state GOP still refuses to accept $13 billion in federal aid to expand Medicaid to an additional 275,000 uninsured Ohioans, but they slipped a provision into their budget bill to allow schools to be sued for teaching
"gateway sexual activity", i.e. sex education.
The R's prefer our teenage children to be uninformed, uninsured, and parents.
