GOP State Rep. McClain wants to give kids school credit for bible study

Fresh off their big sweep in November, Ohio’s Republican legislators continue to push their far-right agenda.

State Rep Jeffrey A. McClain has introduced House Bill 219 which would allow high school students to “earn up to two units of high school credit for the completion of a released time course in religious instruction.”

H.B. 219: To enact section 3313.6017 of the Revised Code to permit public school students to attend and receive credit for released time courses in religious instruction conducted off school property during regular school hours.

Ugh.
