What is going on for teachers in the land of 10,000 lakes? Host Joseph Backholm is joined by senior attorney at the Upper Midwest Law Center, James Dickey, for a conversation unpacking what teachers are going through in Minnesota. Recently, the Professional Educator Licensing Standards Board in Minnesota declared that teachers must affirm the gender of their students – and if they don’t, they “can teach at a private school” (direct quote from the state). James and his law firm are standing in the gap for teachers as the state takes a very controversial position requiring all public school teachers to conform to their standards or not be licensed to teach in Minnesota. Give this episode a listen to learn more about how Minnesota and Governor Walz are infringing upon Minnesotans' personal freedoms.
