If you’re wearing a crucifix — and actually believe in what it represents — you’re no longer welcome in Minnesota’s public schools. Beginning in July of 2025, all public school teachers and faculty will be required to “affirm” each student’s gender identity and/or sexual orientation, or they won’t be licensed to teach anymore. It’s not limited to elementary, middle, and high schools either: this new rule extends to every public college and public university in the state, too.
Gov. Tim Walz (who’s definitely not a weirdo like JD Vance) championed, supported, and signed the law. And why wouldn’t he? It represents his party’s goals and ideology.
When Minnesota teachers renew their license, which happens every five to seven years, they’re now required to prove their “cultural competency.” And, as I’m sure you’ve already guessed, Walz isn’t talking about American culture, Western culture, or Judeo-Christian culture. Instead, Minnesota teachers must “show evidence of self-reflection and discussion of” sexually-themed topics, such as “Gender identity, including transgender students” as well as “sexual orientation.” Sounds like fun!
(And if they have extra time, maybe they’ll squeeze in some math, reading, writing, history, and science.)
Walz’s anti-Christian edict doesn’t end there. Even if teachers acquiesce on the other issues, they’ll still be denied a license if they fail to acknowledge the “bias” in themselves when it comes to gender identity, racial identity, and sexual orientation. In Walz’s America, we just assume everyone’s a bigot.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been the world’s greatest teacher for 30 years. It’s irrelevant if your faith prohibits you from “affirming” gender changes. It doesn’t even matter if you stay quiet and keep your opinion to yourself! This is compelled speech. Teachers are now required to repeat the LGBTQ talking points, or they’ll lose their jobs. […]
