Jenny Berg at the Star Tribune has the story of a proposed policy that would ban so-called “divisive” concepts from Becker school district. The draft policy states the purpose of the policy is to ensure all students and staff are treated in a “respectful, unbiased, fair and equitable manner.” But the policy goes on to dictate that, if passed, “neither political indoctrination or the teaching of inherently divisive concepts will be allowed” and classrooms must be free of any personal bias. That, by many, is being interpreted as the district trying to stifle free speech, suppress LGBTQ students and advocates, and prohibit the accurate teaching of history and other subjects.
