Education Minnesota Hurts Student Progress

FACT: Education Minnesota has stood in the way of every important education reform in state history (see chart below)

FACT: Education Minnesota claims to support kids, but they block every attempt to improve the system to benefit kids

FACT: Education Minnesota is the definition of “systemically racist” as they systemically block every attempt to close Minnesota’s achievement gap for students of color
