<![CDATA[ACCESS OHIO - Educational Updates]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2026 04:02:17 -0700Weebly<![CDATA[Vivek Ramaswamy Townhhall]]>Wed, 19 Aug 2026 22:21:53 GMThttps://www.access-ohio.com/education-blog/vivek-ramaswamy-townhhallGreat connecting at Saturday’s Town Hall with many of the activists in Ohio!

I shared feedback with Vivek’s team on the core concerns I heard from Ohioans: affordability (electric bills & property taxes), health and safety impacts, transparency & accountability (especially around NDAs), and the long-term economic effects including AI job displacement.

As Vivek pointed out, data centers are the hot topic of today, but the bigger picture is clear—these foundational issues need direct attention.

Ultimately, the concerns communicated Saturday and throughout Ohio fall under the big umbrella of affordability, cost of living, healthcare, jobs and economy, safety, and corruption and accountability.

The underrepresentation of younger voices stood out too. Vivek handled the room well; now it’s about addressing what constituents are really saying.

]]><![CDATA[Ohio Faith & Freedom Forum with Vivek Ramaswamy]]>Wed, 19 Aug 2026 22:10:37 GMThttps://www.access-ohio.com/education-blog/ohio-faith-freedom-forum-with-vivek-ramaswamy
The Ohio Faith & Freedom Forum is a faith-centered civic leadership event—not a political rally or campaign event.
Although Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will participate in a moderated discussion, the purpose of the evening is to bring Christians together for thoughtful conversation about faith, civic responsibility, religious liberty, servant leadership, and the role of believers in the public square.

The evening will be emceed by Ruth Edmonds of Center for Christian Virtue and will include remarks from U.S. Congressman Warren Davidson, Christian author and Mason City Council Member Mark Burrell, and Jim Lewis, Chairman of Building Blocks for Liberty.

We will also have a panel of local pastors and faith leaders participating in a moderated discussion with Vivek Ramaswamy, candidate for Governor of Ohio.
Handed to the pastors was a list of resources available to them to help create a biblical voter, helping the congregation understand a world view vs. a biblical world view, recourses to exit public schools and more.

So the left wants you to be fat and lazy, have no financial goals, to hate the long-standing history and practices of our nation and to not trust science.

Yep, that sounds like the left all right.

Smithsonian's "white supremacy" list:
​
individualism, self-reliance
nuclear family structures
rational, linear thinking
work before you play
plan for the future
protect property
avoid conflicts
manage time
be polite

This is my public comment from last night's school board meeting.

Of course, Kelly Casper played unneeded games and made everyone cut their comment to 2 minutes, even though there was over six minutes left on the clock at the end of public comment. A simple mathematical equation and a motion to extend public comment for the time needed would have solved the issue and created less chaos. But leave it to Kelly to not know simple math.

If Lakota had even a little bit of transparency left, it’s walking out the door with Adam Zinc. Adam was someone this community could actually trust — honest, fiscally responsible, and focused on results. Adam, you will be sorely missed.

From people who have worked with the new interim treasurer, Randy Bertram, the message is clear: he believes the board already knows too much. He will not be transparent with the community. He will be sneaky. And he thinks he knows better than the parents.

That same lack of accountability shows up at the top. I am outraged and disgusted by how recklessly Superintendent Ashley Whitley handled Ron Henrich and the Hopewell Junior High custodian, Dennis Lahr. She failed to do her job. She failed to notify the proper authorities. She never really knew what was happening in her own district. Instead of taking responsibility, she put out a cheesy little video pushing the replacement levy — desperately trying to polish her image after her failures were exposed.

When I had the chance to vote for Ashley Whitley to become our superintendent, I voted no. I knew exactly where her talk about “culture” would take this district. I knew she would be weak. I knew she would not be honest or transparent. And I knew she would fail at her most basic responsibility: protecting children.
​
I know some people are tired of me being proven right all the time, but common sense doesn’t fail. Lakota is failing the parents who trusted this district to protect their kids. Families and staff are leaving in droves because they see the direction Lakota is headed — We’re tired of the product this district is pushing — the racist and transgender ideologies, and the more than six million dollars spent on curriculums like Sources of Strength, Savvas Learning, and Portrait of a Graduate. These programs are designed to pull students away from the values their parents taught them and replace those values with a global worldview that teaches government is the answer to everything… not Jesus. This worldview trains students to vote for socialists once they graduate.

Until this district can prove it will be responsible with our students, responsible with our money, and put parents and children first instead of its own agenda and self-preservation, it will not earn the community’s vote for a replacement levy.

So thankful for the new leadership in the Butler County GOP.

Great things to come!
]]><![CDATA[VIvek at the Butler County Fair]]>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:40:21 GMThttps://www.access-ohio.com/education-blog/vivek-at-the-butler-county-fairI can’t express how important it is for Vivek Ramaswamy to get elected in November.

At the Butler County Fair yesterday, he won over so many who were still questioning who to vote for.

His policies are common sense:

Affordability, cut the homeowner red tape in Ohio, get rid of the sanctuary status for the city of Cincinnati, higher standards in education, higher income for teachers, get rid of the woke ideology, teach the greatness of America, lower property taxes, medical freedom, better veteran services, ensure data centers do not raise prices for the community members, and Flock cameras do not encroach on our freedoms.

Vivek will be the most conservative governor in Ohio’s history.
​
He loves America and he loves Ohio.

Vote for Vivek Ramaswamy in November!

It was encouraging to meet so many young men who are engaged in politics and enthusiastic supporters of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

This new generation understands the importance of the policies and leadership they believe are moving our country in the right direction, and they're ready to stay involved to help keep America strong. If you're a new voter—or know someone who is—here's a quick guide to help get started.

]]><![CDATA[Detransitioning]]>Fri, 26 Jun 2026 22:32:09 GMThttps://www.access-ohio.com/education-blog/detransitioningThis article just admitted what so many of us have been saying for years: there ARE detransitioners, and many of them deeply regret transitioning because their underlying mental illness was never properly addressed.

Instead of real help, they were given the Band-Aid of “gender affirming care” — and now they’re left dealing with the consequences.

The article even spells out exactly what these young people now require: “medical care for hormonal balancing, endocrine care, surgical revision and reconstruction, fertility restoration, psychological support (including grief counseling) and insurance coordination.”

Let that sink in.

The very same ideology spreading like a disease across our nation is creating little Frankensteins — cutting off the breasts and penises of confused children in the desperate hope that mutilating their bodies will somehow fix their minds.

One day we will look back on this era and be horrified by the harm we allowed to be done to our kids. But I know I stood on the right side of history — exposing this insane brainwashing and standing against the medical abuse of children.

Enough is enough, and this movement daily shows it is dying.
