Saving Founding of America Documents Curriculum in the Ohio Classroom-Continuing the fight to keep strong American Government and American History standards in Ohio

Many of you will remember that this organization spearheaded strengthening American Government and American History standards in the Ohio classroom in grades 8-12 with a legislative initiative titled The Founding of America Documents Curriculum. It took us ten years to get it through the Ohio General Assembly and passed into law in 2012. S.B. 165 was signed into law by Governor Kasich and was sponsored by State Senator Larry Obhof and State Rep. John Adams, with many cosponsors in both the Ohio House and the Ohio Senate. The primary reason for this legislation was that Ohio students were grading at a D-level in American Government and American History. S.B. 165, the Founding of America Documents Curriculum requires the teaching of our founding documents, namely The Declaration of Independence, The Northwest Ordinance, The U.S. Constitution with an emphasis on The Bill of Rights, The Ohio Constitution, and the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers,

The current course curriculum requires a half-credit hour each for both American Government and American History with an end-of-course exam for each. Since the implementation of this course curriculum, Ohio graduating students are scoring higher in American Government and American History. We have been making progress in Ohio. Here is a report on the proficiency test scores in recent years
