Cocktails with Katie

Since June we have been hearing about Desantis potentially running for President in 2024. Katie believes this to not be a factor because Ohioans are with President Trump. She then discusses Jim Renacci and how he pretends to be "Grassroots Candidate" as a career politician, his career starting in 1996. Jim Renacci currently sits on various boards, a few in particular are suspect, including the Franklin Charter for GLOBAL POLICY exchange. Interesting.....

The superintendent at Katie's local school district claimed to have "In Loco Parentis". Under Ohio law In Loco Parentis means, ""In loco parentis" means an adult who is the caretaker of a child, including a relative, foster parent or stepparent, who is charged with the rights, duties and responsibilities of a parent and whose presence in the home is needed to perform these rights, duties and responsibilities.". Parents don't buy this lie. Tune in to learn more.

Katie goes over Karen's Title IX article, you can find under Mean Street News tab above. Why are our local boards changing Title IX policy when Title IX has not changed. What the Biden Admin did was "reinterpret" how they define Title IX. The Biden Admin cannot change federal law and our legislatures and board needs to stand up.

Senate Bill 178 creates a new cabinet position for the Governor, the Director of Education and Workforce. The current Ohio School board would remain, but would only be a licensure and disciplinary board. We say NO, we believe this bill is taking away our duly elected representation. Check out our article and video. https://meanstreetoh.com/mean-st-news/f/dont-lose-your-voice-in-ohios-education--no-sb1

We discuss how the State Central Committee tried to put in Bryan Williams as ORP Chair during their organizational meeting, in order to make Jim Renacci CEO. Then we go through all the candidates and their backgrounds for the upcoming State Central Committee.

Katie just learned that SB178 from last session is being re-introduced this session as Senate Bill One.

Katie presents Senate Bill One. Senate Bill One creates a new cabinet position for the Governor, the Director of Education and Workforce. The current Ohio School board would remain, but would only be a licensure and disciplinary board. Take a minute and Learn More. If you agree and are against please go to Templates section above and send opposition testimony!

Katie reads Karen's opponent testimony to Senate Bill One that was "accidently" not uploaded until after video was posted.

Katie educates parents how to approach your school policy (bylaws) and discusses Kids Rights in Education. Stop in and Listen!

Governor Dewine & John Husted's presentation to media about eliminating 1/3rd of Ohio's Administrative Code via the Budget Bill this year. The Administrative Code means "the codification of the rules of the administrative agencies of the State of Ohio.". Dewine says it to help businesses but majority of the Rules are for State Agencies, so essentially they are throwing out their own rules.

The schools are not allowing children to make mistakes. Our local school district expelled my daughter who has no previous disciplinary record. Listen and find out why... let me know what you think.
