Effective July 2025, teacher licensing rules passed last year in Minnesota under Democrat Gov. Tim Walz will ban practicing Christians, Jews, and Muslims from teaching in public schools. (snip) Starting next July, Minnesota agencies controlled by Walz appointees will require teacher license applicants to affirm transgenderism and race Marxism. Without a teaching license, individuals cannot work in Minnesota public schools, nor in the private schools that require such licenses. The latest version of the regulations requires teachers to “affirm” students’ “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” to receive a Minnesota teaching license:

With that, Minnesota public education will certainly go down the toilet. Home and private schooling will certainly go up, unless Walz and his minions blocks it.

In other words, if one is a person of faith (unless Buddhist or Hindu) one cannot teach in Minnesota.

The more I read about this idiot Walz, the more I wonder about the intelligence of Minnesota voters. I'm sure somewhere in that state there is a conservative section much like here in Maryland, but the rest of the brain-dead state insists on being led around by the nose.

I am always astonished that publications such as this assume that only those who are Christian, Jewish or Muslim would oppose the trans and LBQT,etc. agenda. One poster here even implies that Hindus and Buddhists are on board with the nonsense. I am an unbeliever in any religion and I find these licensing rules as abhorrent as the sexual propaganda pushed by public schools in every state.

The Walz rules "..... require first-graders to ‘identify examples of ethnicity, equality, liberation and systems of power’ and ‘use those examples to construct meanings for those terms.’" It is not likely that first-graders comprehend the meaning of these terms.

So you say what they want you to say, the earth is flat, climate change kill all of us in 3 years, boys are girls and girls are boys, whatever nonsense they want you to affirm, then go teach. Come on, it's not that hard. Even Peter denied Christ, but that didn't stop Christ from entrusting his church to his care. Say what you need to say to stay alive, or to keep your career alive, then go teach truth.

Where's the diversity and inclusion Democrats pretend to love? As others have said here, this kind of bigotry cannot possibly be legal. With this country having too few teachers as it is, demanding that new teachers endorse anti-American "values" is foolish and counter productive.

There may be a few Republicans who deny the existence of God, but it would seem only Democrats who are heartily true deniers are drawn all the way into early childhood education. Walz might have a bit of difficulty figuring out the true believers from the CINOs, JINOs and MINOs. I wish him no luck whatsoever in his endeavor.

California does not require identification to vote, but earlier this year, the City of Huntington Beach approved a voter ID requirement for municipal elections starting in 2026. This bill would override Huntington Beach’s policy. “An overwhelming body of evidence proves that voter ID laws only subvert voter turnout and create barriers to law abiding voters,” wrote bill author State Sen.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially lost his U.S. Secret Service (USSS) protection on Monday, just days after his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Kennedy's press secretary confirmed the change in a statement to CBS News. Kennedy had gone through a long process to receive USSS protection in the first place, with his initial requests being denied earlier in the cycle. It was not until the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in July that President Biden ordered that Kennedy receive Secret Service protection as well.

Did you catch Kamala Harris's first "interview" as the Democratic Party nominee for president? It was pretty much everything you'd expect from an interview conducted by CNN. Lots of softball questions, lots of word salad responses. CNN anchor Dana Bash actually asked some decent questions, but what really struck me about the interview was that Kamala Harris, more often than not, avoided answering most of the questions, and Bash didn't seem to be concerned with getting an actual answer. You knew things were going to be bad when Harris really struggled to give a coherent answer to the cliché question about what she would do on "on day one."
