Ohio college approves College Republicans' 'Back the Blue' shirts after backlash
Fox News
Ohio Northern University approved the “Back the Blue” T-shirt design proposed by their College Republicans chapter after initially denying it due to “sensitivity" issues.
According to Campus Reform, Markwood received an email on September 17 from Baumgartner explaining that the group would not be able to sell the t-shirt to their organization or to the campus community because of other schools that have had to "retract and apologize" for allowing "Blue Lives initiatives."
"Due to the sensitivity around this request, we took this topic to the DEI board and OMD office. They then discussed as a group and would recommend not moving forward with this project. There are several schools who allowed Blue Lives initiatives who have had to retract and apologize. Dr. Walker shared the links below for reference," Baumgartner said.
