Education Minnesota

Uh, this is, uh, 20 hours ago.

Education Minnesota-

Mm-hmm

... said that 669 people attended in person in 2023.

...

so you were correct about that.

Education Minnesota's more than 80,000 members are invited to attend the free each, for free each year, and this year's sessions include AI in the classroom, which I think is really important.

Oh, that's important.

Um, and, and when you also look at those are the types of individuals and, you know, their character that is then endorsed by organized labor.

So our state level teachers union, Education Minnesota, has affiliate, uh, unions in each school district, and many of them decide that these are the types of individuals that they are going to put their brand and their endorsement behind.

Um, so I think that, that should beg a lot of questions in the b- in the minds of voters, and specifically parents whose children are in these environments.

Um, I know that I am incredibly disturbed by that, and I would imagine that others are too.

Neighbors detained, police brutality, families torn apart, communities living in fear.

We set out to use the tools of social science to measure the scale of the impacts." You wanna know why Education Minnesota and their proficiency for science is at 26%, reading and math below half of students here in Minnesota can read or do math at a proficiency level? It's because of this.

Social science.

We used the tools of social science.

There's almost a direct correlation between youth here in Minnesota and, and specifically the immigrant youth here in Minnesota getting involved in gang activity because of one, what I talked about yesterday, and that was this lack of identity that they have, but two, what's going on with our public education system.

And the public education system here in Minnesota is so abhorrent and there is such a lack of accountability and discipline taking place within our public school, high school campuses that it is exacerbating based off of the information that I-- It's exacerbating this problem when it comes to young individuals lacking identity, weak family structures, looking for belonging, and then the chaos that's being allowed courtesy of Governor Tim Walz, his administration, Education Minnesota, that is contributing to this desire for these young individuals to go and join gangs.

On top of the lack of accountability when people actually get caught and there's an opportunity here to teach them that, "Hey, you can't do this stuff." But that doesn't happen in large part, especially in Hennepin County under Hennepin County Attorney Kerry Moriarty.

So a lot of ground to cover on the show today and as always, we want to hear from you.

And this is even before you get into the cultural ramifications, individuals who were raised in, you know, war-torn regions in Somalia, whatever, you know, culture that they've brought over here and the lack of being able to assimilate.

I'm just talking about what we know before we even add that element, and it's a recipe for disaster.

And what we're hearing from Education Minnesota is throw more money at the problem.

They're not looking at the discipline.

So in the long run, they're graduating idiots and there is very little bright future if this continues.

Education Minnesota has to be dialed back.

Who's got the hair on the back to, uh, to, uh, really do that? Does Lisa or who else? Where's the Republican Party in all this? Man, they're laying low in the weeds.

Good luck.

When we had a board member resign because he moved out of the district, our school board chair tried to fast track it through the meeting before it was actually an active vacancy in order for the leaving board member to vote for himself or vote on a candidate himself.

So at that point, Education Minnesota stepped in and said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

That's not legal.

That doesn't follow statute.

Further details about Mayor Cooley-Herr and the Horny-Herr investigation.

We talked at length yesterday about the disastrous MCA scores that were released and how the DFL and Education Minnesota is desperately trying to save a face.

A little bit later on this hour, the family of Renee Good is suing the federal government over her death, an altercation with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

And they're using a really bizarre means to push forward the lawsuit.

We're a handful of weeks away from the election.

They need to keep Operation Metro Search top of mind.

It's why one of the other things that we'll double back to were the horrible MCA scores and how you have Education Minnesota posting overnight as well that this was because of Operation Metro Search.

And this Truth Council is going to come up with their results on October 31st.

You know, the-- one of the worst things about this demand for more funding, and as we're seeing increased funding and increased tax dollars going to education, at least on its face, is that I'm looking here at Bill Glahn's recent tweet just yesterday showing that Education Minnesota has donated like one point seven million dollars in, uh, political contributions this, just this year.

And Catherine Wigsfall had an article just the other day at americanexperiment.org that said, "Yeah, actually, they donated like three point seven million dollars to political stuff over the, over the previous biennial." So you've got money flowing from the teachers into Education Minnesota going into just basically promoting these left-wing policies that are just not working.

Uh, thank you as always, James.

Uh, great to hear from you and fantastic insights as well.
