The public education establishment in Minnesota is openly hostile toward the public it was created to serve. The latest example comes from an email sent to school administrators inviting them to a summer training session equipping them with "strategies for pushing equity efforts forward despite the resistance."

It's entirely inappropriate for public educators to regard the People they serve as a "resistance" to be "pushed" past. And it's time to shift the current imbalance of state law back toward empowering the public to govern truly independent school districts.
