Minnesota fourth graders told to hide ‘equity survey’ questions from parents
In large part because of Governor Walz’s extensive background in education, parents used to believe that their children’s education was in good hands. Unfortunately; however, after only a few years in office, Governor Walz has already forgotten a cardinal rule: don’t anger parents.
Our students continue to be victims of Gov. Walz’s poor decisions meanwhile parents are tired of believing that this administration will make the right choice on behalf of students.
Fox News recently reported that students as young as the 4th grade were administered an equity survey, and then told not to share that information with parents. It appears that Gov. Walz became too comfortable ruling unilaterally over the last year, and forgot that he represents the voice of Minnesotans.
Introducing the controversial teachings of Critical Race Theory to 4th graders without parental consent is a huge red flag for parent groups across the state considering at no point and time does an elected official have the right to refrain from making parents aware of such decisions.
Upon this realization, parents and the school board demanded that the organization that administered the survey share the questions that were asked to students; however, the organization has yet to do so. With feelings of deception circulating, now the school district is left reeling with unanswered questions and parents are irritated by a lack of transparency.
Walz continues to demonstrate questionable decisions that impact our children and their future well-being through school shutdowns, mandatory mask mandates, and now introducing Critical Race Theory. We need a leader who will work alongside parents and groups for the betterment of society, but a Governor who implements controversial teachings without parental support is WRONG for Minnesotans and students.
