Order Online : "The State of Ohio"
This week on "The State of Ohio": State lawmakers consider what they can do in the wake of the horrible and yet miraculous escape story out of Cleveland involving three women held prisoner in a house for a decade. New data shows more than half of all violent crimes are committed by a very small numbers of offenders. Lawmakers are now working to target that tiny group. And more thoughts on legislation that would dramatically change rules on unions in Ohio.
 

Conservatives back bill to require teaching of Constitution, Federalist Papers, other documents.
By Jo Ingles - February 22, 2011
Conservative groups and some Republican lawmakers are re-introducing a bill that would mandate Ohio’s school children be taught about what they consider to be highly important historical documents. Republican State Sen. Tim Grendell is the sponsor.


Grendell says the bill does not, at this point, align with the state mandated proficiency tests but he hopes it will in the future. Backers of this legislation say they’ve been trying to pass it for nearly eight years now but believe with a conservative majority in the legislature and new members on the state board of education, it will be easier to get this bill passes this time around.
