The campaign Minnesota desperately needs, Part II

On Sunday, I wrote a post titled Is the DFL failing K-12 students? In the post, I quoted from Ben Bakeberg's weekly legislative update. In Principal Bakeberg's weekly legislative update, he wrote 'Over time, we’ve moved away from clear standards and meaningful measures of academic readiness. Teachers are handling more classroom disruptions, and that takes away from students who are there to learn. In some cases, it’s becoming a safety issue. Schools are also being stretched thin and have been for some time. There are roughly 65 mandates coming out of St. Paul that districts are expected to follow, many without funding. That forces schools to shift time and resources just to stay in compliance. Meanwhile, spending continues to grow in areas that don’t reach the classroom like the Minnesota Department of Education."

With class sizes already too big, St. Paul is requiring schools statewide to shift manpower away from classrooms to pay for other things. That's downright foolish. That's just the tip of the iceberg, though. Additional money is getting shifted to pay salaries and benefits for people employed at the Minnesota Department of Education. If MDE HQ is like MNSCU's Central Office, then it's just a parking spot for cronies who can't retire but are tired of teaching.

Parents deserve better for their tax dollars. Minnesota test scores keep dropping. Money keeps flying out the door. Further, MDE was caught ignoring the Feeding Our Future scandal, which cost taxpayers $300,000,000+. Scandals galore + dropping test scores + overspending indicate just 1 thing. MDE and Education Minnesota need a major overhaul.

That won't happen if there's a DFL governor or if the Minnesota House or Senate have DFL majority. This is a good report explaining the Feeding Our Future scandal"

Minnesota's K-12 education system badly needs an overhaul. That won't happen if Minnesotans are subjected to another status quo campaign.

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...

Tim Walz doubling down on Gestapo speech

Image
When Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, delivered the commencement address for the University of Minnesota Law school, he didn't deliver the typical commencement speech. He delivered a highly partisan speech instead. Gov. Walz compared "federal law enforcement agents implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a Nazi-era political police force." He called ICE agents Gestapo. Let's compare the 2. The Gestapo's mission was to rid Germany of Jews. To the Gestapo, it didn't matter that these Jews were German citizens and had been decades. Thanks to the Aryan Clauses, Jews were considered subhuman and weren't really Germans. That's an awfully racist viewpoint. Is Gov. Walz accusing law enforcement officers of being racists? I.C.E. I.C.E. agents enforce laws that bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress have passed and that the president has signed. These immigration bills were negotiated between the 2 parties. The Aryan Clau...
