I
don’t
have
many
tweets
that
automatically
come
to
mind
whenever
Ohio
is
mentioned,
but
the
two
that
do
should
cross
your
mind
whenever
Ohio’s
race
and
education
policy
decisions
pop
on
your
timeline:
Now
that
that’s
out
the
way,
5
law
schools
in
Ohio
just
dropped
their
race
based
scholarships
and
programs.
The
Center
Square
has
coverage:
Pressure
from
a
Columbus-based
policy
group
has
forced
five
university-based
Ohio
law
schools
to
stop
race-based
scholarship
or
internship
programs.The
Buckeye
Institute
announced
law
schools
at
Cleveland
State,
Ohio
State,
Akron,
Cincinnati
and
Toledo
stopped
the
programs
after
it
announced
an
investigation.
Glad
that
groups
are
targeting
the
real
threat
to
our
democracy:
people
getting
money
so
they
can
attend
school!
The
impacted
schools
are
Cleveland
State,
Ohio
State,
Akron,
Cincinnati
and
Toledo.
They
won’t
be
the
last.
Public
universities
all
across
the
nation
are
likely
to
follow
suit
—
few
things
put
a
damper
on
solidarity
like
getting
sued
over
it.
