Defending our students’ freedom to learn

All students deserve the freedom to learn an honest history of our nation, both the good and the bad, so they can learn from our mistakes and create a better future for all Minnesotans. But certain politicians and some national big money groups are trying to:

  • Deny educators the resources they need to support every student.
  • Ban accurate, age-appropriate lessons about the role of racism, gender and civil rights in America.

Education Minnesota offers free training and materials on how to share our values for our students and our schools. They will equip advocates to push back confidently against the campaign to put Minnesota students in the middle of an election-year culture war.  

These resources are available to all educators and allies who are ready to speak out for Minnesota students’ opportunity to learn the critical thinking skills they will need to become engaged citizens and make our state a place where everyone can thrive, no matter where they live, what they look like, or who they love.
