An Ohio man filed a federal lawsuit Monday against the Ohio State Board of Education, charging that it instituted racial policies so controversial that they prompted outcry — then prohibited disagreement during the portion of meetings dedicated to hearing citizens’ views.
Daniel Regenold said the state board banned citizens from speaking during the public comment period of its meetings if they disagreed with critical race theory or the schools’ racial equity policies, alleging that the move violated his 1st and 14th Amendment rights. The board president has acknowledged creating and enforcing such a policy, even though it was never put to a vote, the lawsuit said.
