US EditionOhio School Board Votes to Remove 'Hate Has No Home Here' Poster From Classroom
The poster's removal followed a 4-1 board vote citing Ohio's House Bill 8, which mandates parental notification for materials related to sexual orientation or gender identity.
- On Feb. 25, 2026, the Little Miami Local Schools Board of Education voted 4-1 to remove a poster from Little Miami High School, citing compliance with Ohio House Bill 8.
- Little Miami board members said Ohio House Bill 8, enacted April 2025, influences their removal decision, citing exemptions for incidental references to sexual concepts or gender ideology, according to Wallace.
- The poster showed five heart-shaped images, including a pride and transgender flag, supported social studies, and was deemed non-instructional by the principal and superintendent, with parents urging to keep it during the meeting.
- Board directed removal pending parental notification procedures, and Wayne Siebert, board member , warned, 'We were told if we adopt this policy, the lawsuits will follow.' David Wallace, board president, ordered an audience member removed after the meeting grew raucous.
- The district said the move was not based on 'Hate Has No Home Here' and emphasized safety, reflecting broader shifts in handling LGBTQ+ displays since the October 2025 policy adoption.
