COLUMBUS, Ohio -- State senators advanced a bill that would require students in grades 6-12 to learn a three-pronged theory that states that people who complete at least a high school education, work full time and marry before having children are less likely to live in poverty in adulthood.
Senate Bill 156 advanced out of the Ohio Senate Education Committee Tuesday. It could be on the Senate floor within a couple weeks, said the committee’s chairman, Sen. Andrew Brenner, a Delaware County Republican.
