The AHA’s testimony opposing Ohio House Bill 103, which would create a politically appointed task force to produce state social studies standards, was featured in an article by Susan Tebben and an op-ed by Jeanne Melvin in the Ohio Capital Journal about the current battle over K–12 standards in the state. The legislation, the AHA wrote, “would create an entirely new bureaucratic apparatus as a strategy for overruling an open, democratic, and professional process” for “a radical overhaul of history and social studies education in Ohio.”
