Two members of the Ohio State Board of Education, including the board president, resigned from the board this week at the request of Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine after they voted against rescinding a July 2020 “anti-racism” resolution that has since become controversial.

The two members who voted against the rescission, Board of Education President Laura Kohler and board member Eric Poklar, both submitted their resignation letters in a bid to avoid a forcible removal by the Ohio senate.
