Alpha News: Anoka-Hennepin Administrators, Teachers Intentionally Deceive Parents |
Via Alpha News
Some administrators and teachers intentionally deceive parents, and those who don’t go along with the district’s political agenda are bullied or threatened, according to an Anoka-Hennepin public school teacher.
Alpha News spoke with that teacher, who asked to be identified by a pseudonym for fear of being retaliated against, in season two of “Trapped!: Chaos in the Classroom.”
The first episode in season two of the audio podcast focuses on Anoka-Hennepin Schools, the largest school district in the state. The district serves almost 38,000 students in parts of Anoka, Champlin, Coon Rapids, Blaine, Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Dayton, Fridley, Ham Lake, Nowthen, Oak Grove and Ramsey.
Teachers gave Alpha News a behind the scenes look into what’s happening in the district. They said social justice has become more important than teaching students literacy and numeracy skills. |

Alpha News: 17 DFL Legislators Sign Brief Asking Supreme Court to Preserve Access to Abortion Pill |
Via Alpha News
Seventeen Democrat legislators from Minnesota have attached their names to an amicus brief last week that asks the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn an appellate court decision that would roll back the public’s access to mifepristone, an abortion-inducing medication.
The DFLers joined a group of more than 600 Democrat legislators from 49 states in signing onto the brief, which asks the nation’s highest court to reject the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ August ruling in FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine that concluded several decisions the FDA took in 2016 to make mifepristone more broadly available to women were illegal.
The U.S. Supreme Court in April issued a temporary stay of the fifth circuit’s ruling, which means mifepristone is still available to those seeking an abortion. The medication accounts for about 60 percent of abortions in Minnesota annually, according to a report from the Minnesota Department of Health.
