A Cold Mississippi, Only Dumber

Reading and math scores in Minnesota schools are lagging behind those of smug Minnesotans’ eternal punching bag, Mississippi.  

This should fix that:

Starting this fall for the 2025-26 school year, Minnesota’s public schools will be required to teach third graders how to use non-binary gender pronouns in writing sentences.

The Minnesota Department of Education’s new K-12 English Language Arts (ELA) standards and benchmarks were adopted in 2023 and are scheduled for full implementation at the beginning of the 2025-26 school year. Reviewed and revised on a 10-year cycle, Minnesota’s ELA standards and benchmarks are organized into three strands: 1) reading, 2) writing, and 3) listening, speaking, viewing, and exchanging ideas.

That’ll fix things.

    If we get rid of history and economics, then make math and language incomprehensible, eventually we should have a state full of perfect Democrat voters.

    That assumes the schools are capable of teaching in the first place. My sample of one, a seventeen year old male whose K through 10 education took place in Minnesota, was not able to spell the word “ graduation “ when his mom asked him to write thank you notes for grad presents.
