Minnesota will soon ban faithful Christians, Muslims, and Jews from teaching in public schools by requiring that every state-certified teacher “fosters an environment that ensures student identities such as … gender identity … are … affirmed.” Once the new requirements clear a final procedural hurdle, they will be immediately challenged in state and possibly federal court, a civil liberties lawyer told The Federalist on Tuesday.
“We have lots of parents who are upset by this sort of thing in schools already,” said Doug Seaton, president of Minnesota’s Upper Midwest Law Center, in an interview. “They’re going to be even more upset with how their teachers are going to be licensed. Their teachers are going to have to be faced with hiding their beliefs or getting denied [for a state teaching license].”
Seaton said it was accurate to describe the nearly finalized regulations as communicating: “Christians, Muslims, and Jews need not apply for Minnesota teaching jobs.” That is unconstitutional, he said, so UMLC plans to sue once the changes go into effect.
The state agency that composed the changes disputed they would effectively ban religious Americans from teaching in Minnesota schools through a spokeswoman on Wednesday. The spokeswoman did not respond to a follow-up asking how Christians, Jews, and Muslims could adhere to their faith while complying with the licensing requirements that all new teachers publicly reject their faiths’ declaration that God has created only two sexes, male and female.
Minnesota’s Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB), a division of the state Department of Education, has been working to change teacher certification requirements since 2019. Its latest public draft, which is finalized save for a few tweaks that don’t affect the content, includes multiple requirements that licensure candidates publicly support critical race theory and transgender ideology and include both in their teaching. Teachers must receive state licensure to be employed in Minnesota public and many private schools.
Most people have been brainwashed to think that 'they' are trying to 'keep faith out of the public schools'.
That is wrong.
They most definitely want faith in public schools.
But they want to have ONLY ONE FAITH in public schools: Satanism
You hit the mail on the head!!!
I was saying this.
Some people think this is only about Christians.
No..
They have made it clear.
500,000,000 left.
They plan to do this by
Sounds like Minnesota is deciding that all those Muslims they've imported for many years are becoming a liability rather than useful idiots.
Every time someone mentions Minnesota I just shut down. I have given up on that state - it's beyond help.
Just like me when I hear California.
Whats annoying is Duluth and the twin cities are blue but much of the rest of the state is red. In my town we had a Trump store right down my street. But the densest areas are all blue. I'm glad my town is mostly red. The women tend to be blue but thats women in general.
Atheists, trannys, queers and pedos will be teaching your children Minnesota. Come to think of it, it's probably mostly there already. Carry on.....
Further proof that the public and even private school system is not designed to actually educate your kids.
Stock up on ammo!
