COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The state's largest teachers union and the Ohio Republican Party have gone to court over a GOP request for the names and addresses of all educators.
A Franklin County judge is expected to hear arguments later this month over whether to extend a temporary restraining order stopping the release of the records.
Ohio GOP Chairman Kevin DeWine says the party wants the names to let Ohio teachers know where Republican candidates stand on education issues. DeWine says Republicans aren't going to let the Ohio Education Association spread what he calls lies and attacks without a response.
The OEA says the request is a violation of teachers' privacy and the information being requested is shielded under Ohio's public records law.
