VOTE NO ON ISSUE 1

The political left is pushing a radical redistricting plan for the November ballot. This convoluted, complicated redistricting plan, if passed by Ohio voters in November, will take the redraw of the district lines away from the people and their representatives and put it in the hands of the political left with retired judges and academic elites. They claim this will stop gerrymandering, but in reality, Issue One will be gerrymandering on steroids, and not representative of the people of the state of Ohio

State School Report Card with Ed Committee Chair Andy Brenner- How are Ohio students doing?

The Ohio Department of Education released its State Report Card for 2023-2024.

In his 2023 State of the State Address, Governor DeWine highlighted the need to focus on Ohio schoolchildren’s reading proficiency. Due to the COVID shutdown, Ohio students were at least one grade level behind in their reading proficiency. He stated that 40% of Ohio third grade students were not proficient in reading. He said, “Reading unlocks the door for all future learning and truly provides a lifetime of opportunity.”

Ohio’s 2023 assessments indicated 38% of students were not proficient in reading. Among economically disadvantaged students, 55% were not proficient in English language arts. The 2024 Ohio school report card for third grade reading proficiency has improved slightly. In the words of the State Superintendent, "The situation remains urgent." Here to discuss the details is State Senator Andy Brenner, who serves as the Chairman of the State Education Committee.

Faith in America on the decline – But there is a spark of revival in a younger generation.

A 2022 Gallup Poll of faith in America found that for the first time since 1928, under 50% of Americans hold any faith tradition or association whatsoever. Many church denominations report drastic decreasing numbers of general church attendance. Generation Z is the most unchurched generation in American history, according to the Gallup poll.

Among young people in their 30’s and 40’s is a movement of deconstructing their faith. In Ohio, leading up to the 2020 pandemic, church attendance was on the decline and church closures were steadily increasing.

Post-pandemic, it has accelerated to where thousands of churches in Ohio have closed, and some have merged to stay viable and to survive, including Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox churches.

Christian Universities and Seminaries are also on the decline. Many have closed. Others are reporting lower enrollments.

Atheism, the occult, and satanism, are on the rise.

We are living in unprecedented times when Christian leaders are renouncing their faith and large numbers of believers are falling away. Is this the final apostasy prophesied by Jesus and Paul? Is there hope for the younger generation to experience a move of God in their time?
