Russian Hackers Threaten Ohio Schools with Bombs, FBI Investigates

Multiple schools in Ohio have received bomb threats believed to be from Russian hackers. The threats, similar to those in Texas last week, have been reported to the Ohio School Safety Center, the Department of Education and Workforce, and the FBI. While no specific and credible threat has been identified, law enforcement urges the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. Local schools have contacted local authorities and found no evidence of a threat, but some districts have increased police presence as a precaution. Parents are advised to "see something, say something."

FBI Probes Russian Terrorist Threat Targeting Ohio Schools

The FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force are investigating an email threat sent to multiple Ohio school districts, including those in the region, claiming to be from a Russian terrorist. While there is currently no evidence supporting the credibility of the threats, law enforcement agencies are taking necessary precautions to ensure the safety of students, faculty, and staff. Similar threats were also reported in Texas, but were found to be non-credible. Local police departments are working closely with federal and local partners to thoroughly investigate the threats and encourage the community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.

Ohio Schools Receive Threats, But Authorities Confirm No Credibility

Over 50 school districts in Ohio received emails from a Russian account threatening American schools with explosives, prompting increased police patrols and investigations by local law enforcement and the FBI. However, authorities have determined that the threats have no credibility and are likely hoax emails meant to incite panic. Similar threats were also reported in Texas, with the FBI labeling them as clearly hoax threats. School districts are taking precautionary measures to ease anxiety and ensure the safety of students and the community.

Ohio LGBTQ+ students face threats and harassment at Fairmont High School.

Two Ohio school districts are facing debates on LGBTQ+ inclusion after gender-fluid high school students were crowned prom king and queen, and a neighboring district removed protections for LGBTQ+ students. A 42-year-old man is facing charges for threatening LGBTQ+ students who attend Kettering Fairmont High School. Meanwhile, the Bellbrook-Sugarcreek School Board of Education removed anti-harassment protections for LGBTQ+ students during a five-hour long meeting where dozens of students and community members testified. The two incidents reflect ongoing conversations in schools and statehouses nationwide as lawmakers propose a record-breaking number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills.
