Monday 3/4 Call to Action


Monday 3/4 

Here’s to hoping the House Committee holds more public hearings. “Nadler said the committee will be issuing document requests Monday to people from the “White House to the Department of Justice, Donald Trump, Jr., Allen Weisselberg, to begin the investigations to present the case to the American people about obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power.””

Before 2017, Minnesota had some of the highest standards in the nation for becoming a licensed teacher. Now we have some of the lowest. We need to restore our state’s high teaching standards. We need to support legislation that would close the loopholes and have teachers educating our students who have completed a teacher preparation program. Lowering the standards does not attract more people into the profession.  Teachers need support and respect to be successful in the classroom and profession. Let your state reps know you support HF 1329/SF 1557. Today, legislators will hear about this legislation and make changes to the tiered licensure system.http://cqrcengage.com/neamn/app/write-a-letter?0&engagementId=497122

Paul joins his fellow Republican Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Thom Tillis as GOP voters for the resolution. These four Republicans in combination with all 47 Democrats means that there are now enough votes in the Senate in favor of overturning Trump’s national emergency to send the resolution to the president’s desk for a veto that will set up a showdown between Trump and the Senate.”

I’m not sure how this executive order will align with Melania’s Be Best campaign, but on Saturday Trump announced he’ll sign an executive order for free speech on college campuses. If colleges don’t comply then they won’t receive federal research grants. This is proposed free speech executive order ignores growing racial violence on campuses today. 

There has been a lot of anti-muslim propaganda targeting Representative Ilahn Omar. We must condemn these attacks and reject religious bigotry. 

Governor Walz has declared March 3-9 School Social Workers Week in the state of MN. Let your school social worker know they are appreciated!
