Fox News: Minnesota Walz-appointed board requires teachers to ‘affirm’ their students' gender identities
Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota appointed members to the Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board, which introduced new licensure requirements mandating that teachers affirm students' gender identities and understand concepts like racial consciousness and systemic oppression. These standards will be implemented in 2025 amid concerns over their ideological implications.
Critics argue that the changes may deter aspiring educators from entering the profession due to the fear of ideological compliance, potentially worsening the state's teacher shortage. The updated guidelines require all teacher candidates to incorporate these standards into their training regardless of their teaching context.
