Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

The Foxes and The "Sour" Grapes
The Foxes (after many futile attempts to get the coveted bunch): "Oh, well, it don't amount to anything, anyway."



"The foxy old party leader professes great contempt for the Prohibition vote. He pretends to despise its size, and yet he would awfully like to corral it in his own camp. The fact that he cannot is the secret of his sour-grapes cry, as he sees the coveted prize beyond his reach.

Prohibitionists can well afford to hear him sneer, while they maintain their own integrity, and with praiseworthy persistence vote for what they want."

(from Prohibition Cartoons by D.F. Stewart and H.W. Wilbur, Defender Publishing Company, 1904)
