Minnesota Department of Corrections settles with Quest for Authentic Manhood prison ministry

The DFL's hostility towards people of faith hasn't been stronger than with various prison ministry organizations. That's why this Alpha News article quickly caught my attention. Accordidng to the article, "In August, the U.S. Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 ruling that allowed Schmitt to resume teaching the course until the matter is fully adjudicated. Now, the law firms representing Schmitt have announced that a settlement has been reached in the case. Those law firms are the Upper Midwest Law Center (UMLC) and True North Legal, which is the legal arm of the Minnesota Family Council."

Predictably, Minnesota's DOC isn't thrilled with the settlement. Instead, they said "According to the lawsuit, a DOC leader told Schmitt that his program 'conflicts with the diversity, equity, and inclusivity values' of DOC and 'teaches participants about manhood through a lens of discrimination, exclusivity, gender biases, and stereotypes.'"

Who cares whether a program "conflicts with the diversity, equity, and inclusivity values" of the DOC if inmates' lives are transformed and improved? Apparently, the DFL worships at the altar or DEI while these transformed men worship at the altar of the One True God who created Heaven and Earth.

What's the difference?

“I am thrilled that the Quest for Authentic Manhood program is back in the St. Cloud Correctional Facility,” Schmitt said in a press release. "For nearly twelve years, I have seen incarcerated men transform through the power of the Gospel, which they encounter through this program. UMLC and True North Legal did an excellent job representing me and ensuring my rights were protected," he added.
In other words, the power of the Gospel has changed lives for the better. Isn't that what the desired outcome is? DEI is mostly a bit of nice-sounding gobbledygook. Will it positively change people's lives? I wouldn't bet on it. This is where the transformation happens:
It's time to fix society.

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

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...

Thank God for well-run government agencies. Under DFL management, the Minnesota Department of Education, aka MDE, has turned inot an embarassment. Thank God Alpha News takes oversight seriously. Alpha News reports that "The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) says it will now require criminal background checks for “all new hires” and is working to adopt tougher hiring policies—after Alpha News’ exclusive reporting on a convicted sex offender’s employment in a high-level state role." The article continues, saying "The department announced the changes in a letter to Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove, following widespread concern over its hiring of Wilson Tindi, a Kenyan national on the state’s predatory offender registry who was earning $145,000 a year as Director of I...
