Why EdChoice is Here to Stay: A Legal Update for Ohio Families
What the Recent Court Ruling Means for Your Family
While activist judges have attempted to stall our progress, the EdChoice program remains fully operational thanks to a critical legal stay. To cut through the misinformation and show exactly how we are fighting back in court, the Center for Christian Virtue (CCV) has released a vital briefing to ensure your family’s educational freedom is never taken away.
As the battle for parental rights reaches a critical turning point in Ohio, our community must stay informed and equipped with the truth. CCV’s partner ministry, the Ohio Christian Education Network (OCEN), recently held a webinar to provide a deep dive into the pending EdChoice lawsuit. With the case now on appeal in the 10th District Court, the outcome will have a profound impact on the future of faith-based education in our state.
