==Minnesota To Mandate K–12 Ethnic Studies Instruction In 2026

teaser image==

“Students will be able to explain how race is socially constructed and how that social construction has been used to oppress people of color, specifically in relation to Jim Crow, segregation, and racial covenants…”

The Center of the American Experiment, a Minnesota-based education policy organization that opposes partisan and race-based curricula, is helping districts find politically neutral alternatives that it says are more like traditional social studies and history electives and less like social justice advocacy guidance.

“The words ethnic studies have been hijacked,” Catrin Wigfall, a policy fellow with the center, told The Epoch Times.

“But boards [of education] have more power in this than they might think.”

Additionally, state laws allow parents to review a curriculum and opt their child out of any instruction they find objectionable, in which case the school is required to provide alternative materials, Wigfall said.

The Minnesota Department of Education defines ethnic studies as an interdisciplinary area of instruction that “analyzes how race and racism have been and continue to be social, cultural, and political forces, and the connection of race to the stratification of other groups.”

The state law requires public schools to incorporate ethnic studies lessons in mandatory social studies courses across all grade levels, in addition to offering a stand-alone ethnic studies elective course for high school juniors and seniors.

In 2023, the Minnesota Department of Education stipulated that the ethnic studies context is expected to be embedded in other subject areas, including math, physical education, and health, as courses are periodically revised.

The Center of the American Experiment argues that those standards habituate angry, inaccurate, and “identity-first” ideological and political perspectives.

"Locked & Loaded": Trump Says US Will Intervene If Iran Kills Protesters

President Trump has just become the first sitting US President to explicitly warn that the United States stands ready to directly intervene in Iran if Tehran authorities begin killing peaceful protesters, as he wrote Friday that Washington "will come to their rescue".

In a brief early morning post on Truth Social, he wrote: "We are locked and loaded and ready to go." He gave no further details what course of action this might take, but it's a pretty clear and provocative message to Iranian leadership - or comes very close to saying something akin to the 'Ayatollah must go'.

Trump's full message is as follows: "If Iran shots [sic] and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue."

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei did respond in very short fashion, with a senior aide from his office saying Trump should "be careful" if he intervened, warning of unleashing more chaos in the region.

"Trump should know that US interference in this internal matter would mean destabilizing the entire region and destroying America's interests," Khamenei adviser Ali Larijani stated.

The economic protests which have been raging since Sunday, and have spread from the marketplaces to the universities, have turned deadly. International monitors and media have said six have been killed.

However, Iranian officials are saying at least one of these deaths and many among the injured are security forces. The slain officer was said to be a member of the Basij - a paramilitary force linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). In several locales Basij members have been observed supporting local police forces, as is typical whenever major anti-government protests flare up.

Newsweek reviews of the violence so far in the country of over 90 million people:

Deaths were reported in Lordegan, Kuhdasht, and Isfahan, though casualty figures vary between state media and rights groups.

The Revolutionary Guards said one member of its Basij paramilitary unit was killed in Kuhdasht, with 13 others wounded.

Rights group Hengaw identified the man as a protester, contradicting official claims.

Demonstrations spread to Marvdasht in Fars province, while arrests were reported in Kermanshah, Khuzestan, and Hamedan.

Most of the protest deaths have come in the West of the country, and mounting casualties from the unrest has been confirmed in Iranian state media - though few details have been given in some instances on whether these are police or protesters.

The initial response from leadership in Tehran:

Fighting Breaks Out On Saudi Border In Oil-Rich Yemen Region

Yemen continues to be a major headache and security risk for the Saudis, and rare fighting has emerged just on the kingdom's border. Looming over the crisis is the deepening rift between Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Saudi warplanes carried out fresh airstrikes on sites near the Saudi-Yemeni border in Yemen's Hadramout province on Friday, as clashes erupted between forces loyal to the Saudi-backed provincial governor and fighters affiliated with the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC).

The STC has for years called the secession of a proposed federal "State of South Arabia" from the rest of the country, and is backed in this current conflict by the UAE.

At lease seven air raids along the border occurred Friday, according to local officials. The STC's leader in Wadi Hadramout, Mohammed Abdulmalik, has said that the strikes killed seven people and injured more than 20 others.

Saudi-backed authorities have this week moved to reassert control over military installations in the province. Hadramout borders Saudi Arabia and thus whichever group controls the area gains great influence and strategic importance, also given it is an area rich with crude.

Earlier on Friday, Yemen's Saudi-backed government formally announced the launch of a military operation targeting the STC in Hadramout. Speaking in a televised address from Riyadh, the province's governor said the campaign was intended to reassert state authority and secure key institutions in the oil-producing region.

In response, STC forces said they were fully prepared to confront any military escalation following the governor's announcement.

Al Jazeera's Ali Hashem has explained of the geopolitical pressures which led to the new escalation:

The opportunity here for the Southern Transitional Council (STC) is to go towards separation, to have a southern state, which has been its dream for decades.

It’s a different moment and it’s instrumental in recalibrating the region. Israel’s war on Gaza war has changed everything – it changed the perception of national security within major states in the region. It changed also the way small players are regarding the possibilities and potential they can build on.

SBA Suspends 7,000 Minnesota Borrowers Over "Suspected Fraudulent Activity"

Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler announced late Thursday that nearly 7,000 Minnesota borrowers have been suspended over suspected fraud. The move follows a bombshell report last week by citizen journalist Nick Shirley, who detailed alleged large-scale fraud tied to daycare centers operated by Somali-linked networks. The revelations sparked national outrage, with many Americans angered that their taxes are funding what appears to be industrial-scale migrant welfare fraud.

"Over the last week, SBA has reviewed thousands of potentially fraudulent pandemic-era PPP and EIDL loans approved in Minnesota," Loeffler said Thursday on X.

She continued:

Today, our agency took action to suspend 6,900 Minnesota borrowers amid suspected fraudulent activity. In total, these borrowers were approved for 7,900 PPP and EIDL loans worth approximately $400M. These individuals will be banned from all SBA loan programs, including disaster loans, going forward.

We will also refer every case, where appropriate, to federal law enforcement for prosecution and repayment.

After years, the American people will finally begin to see the criminals who stole from law-abiding taxpayers held accountable, and this is just the first state.

Israel asked Qatar to boost financial assistance to Gaza a month before Oct. 7 — report

Israeli officials said to have asked Doha’s Mohammed al-Emadi to buy more Egyptian fuel to fund Hamas regime, thinking terror group wanted economic relief in exchange for quiet

Israel asked Qatar to increase the financial assistance it was giving to Gaza one month before the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, massacre, the Yedioth Aharonoth daily reported Friday.

In September 2023, Israeli officials met at a Jerusalem hotel with Mohammed al-Emadi, the Qatari envoy to Gaza, who oversaw the delivery of hundreds of millions of dollars in cash from Qatar to Gaza between 2018 and 2021, the report said. There, they asked him to increase the amount of fuel purchased from Egypt by Doha for the benefit of Gaza’s Hamas government.

Qatar, since 2021, had been purchasing fuel from Egypt, which it would then gift to Hamas in Gaza. The fuel was then sold by the terror group to gas stations inside the Strip, thus bringing money to the regime to pay its own officials and commanders.

Israel was a tacit party to the arrangement, which allowed it to avoid directly funding the terror group’s government while still propping it up to keep the Strip stable.

About a month before al-Emadi’s meeting in Jerusalem, the Qatari diplomat visited the Strip to meet with then-Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar.

The terror leader, like Israel would the following month, asked al-Emadi to increase Doha’s fuel purchases from $3 million a month to $7 million a month. Al-Emadi told Sinwar that Qatar wasn’t willing to do that, according to the report.

A month later, however, Israel would also ask the Qatari diplomat to increase the purchases, as part of an emerging deal with Hamas to put a stop to a new round of the “March of Return” riots at the Gaza-Israel border, the newspaper claimed.

Once Again, the New York Times Sells Israel’s Genocide in Gaza as Law Enforcement

Israel is expelling 37 aid groups – a likely death sentence for 100,000s of Palestinians. But the Times speaks only of ‘new rules’ in Gaza, and ‘suspensions’ for those who ‘resist registration’

This is another masterclass from the New York Times in how to sell genocide as law enforcement.

According to today’s headline, “new Israeli rules” mean “suspensions” of aid groups from Gaza – that is, the forced expulsion of 37 humanitarian organisations from Palestinian territory illegally occupied by Israel.

These aid groups organise most of the field hospitals currently operating in Gaza and set up after Israel destroyed the enclave’s proper hospitals. The groups also run emergency shelters, water and sanitation services, and treatment centres for children with acute malnutrition.

Israel’s “registration rules” are a death sentence for a homeless, destitute Palestinian population left vulnerable to starvation, floods, winter cold and disease by Israel’s two-year destruction of their homeland.

Who is to blame? Apparently groups like Doctors Without Borders, Medical Aid for Palestinians and CARE. Why? Because they are “resisting” Israel’s “rules” to “provide detailed information” on their staff in Gaza – information Israel has used time and again to kill those aid workers.

As Doctors Without Borders point out, “we support one in five hospital beds and one in three births” in Gaza. Israel, it added, was “cutting off life-saving medical assistance for hundreds of thousands of people”.

Another organisation affected by the new “rules”, the Norwegian Refugee Council, noted that Israel had killed hundreds of aid workers in the past two years. “For us, it is a safety concern for our staff. And acknowledging who they are – it puts them at risk.”

The New York Times wants you to forget who is the criminal here.

It is Israel that’s illegally occupying Gaza and other Palestinian territories – and has been for decades.

It is Israel that has bombed Gaza into the Stone Age.

It is Israel that has ethnically cleansed Gaza’s people from their lands, driving them into ever smaller concentration camps on those ruins, surrounded by Israel’s “yellow line”.

It is Israel that has starved the people of Gaza for months on end by blocking all aid.

It is Israel that’s killed at least 600 aid workers, 1,700 medical staff and 250 journalists in Gaza over the past two years.

It is Israel that has eradicated all Gaza’s hospitals and health care facilities, leaving its maimed and starved population vulnerable to infection and disease.

In India, 46 million girls have been aborted due to sex selection over the past 50 years.

Sex-selective abortion in India reveals a tragedy that exposes the hypocrisy of the feminism that claims so much to «defend» women.

Approximately 46 million girls have been aborted in India in the last 50 years solely because they were female; this terrible phenomenon is driven by cultural issues where families prefer male children.

In matrimonial customs, women are relegated to an inferior role, making the cost of raising a girl seen as an unwanted obligation. This leads to forced abortions, where mothers are pressured by husbands and in-laws.Here in India, violence begins in the womb; families see daughters as an economic burden due to traditions such as dowry and male inheritance.

This silent genocide not only ends millions of innocent lives; it is something that progressive feminists prefer to completely ignore. While they shout in defense of unlimited abortion in the West as an «absolute right,» they remain silent in the face of the extermination of unborn girls in countries where they really need to be defended.

One shocking case is that of a 40-year-old woman in Mumbai, forced to abort eight female fetuses in a year. Another, Laali, 25 years old, recounted her anguish after two forced abortions, blamed for giving birth to daughters and threatened with being replaced if she does not produce a boy.

These sad stories highlight how sex-selective abortion is not a «free choice,» but a normalized violence against women and girls.

Despite the legal prohibition in India since 1994 on prenatal tests to determine the sex of the fetus, the practice persists in illegal private clinics.

Demographic data confirm it: in 2016, the ratio was 89 girls for every 100 boys, and although it has improved to 928 girls per 1,000 boys in 2023 according to the vital statistics report, it is still below the natural level of 950.

In regions like Uttarkashi in 2019, no girls were born in three months, with 216 births only of boys, suspecting selective abortions.

This problem is not exclusive to India; also in China, population control policies have worsened the imbalance, leaving millions of men without partners.

However, international feminist organizations such as the United Nations Population Fund condemn sex-selective abortion in documents, but do not act to stop it, prioritizing unrestricted access to abortion.

Number of abortions in U.S. continue to rise despite Supreme Court's Dobbs decision

The pro-abortion Society of Family Planning found the number of monthly abortions continued to increase in 2025, with an estimated 98,630 babies aborted every month through June 2025, compared to 95,250 abortions every month in 2024.

The number of abortions nationwide increased in the first half of 2025, compared to the year before, despite the Supreme Court's ruling in 2022 that returned regulation of abortions to the states.

The Supreme Court issued the highly controversial opinion in June 2022, that overturned the historic ruling in Roe v. Wade.

The pro-abortion Society of Family Planning revealed last month that the number of monthly abortions continued to increase in 2025, with an estimated 98,630 babies aborted every month through June 2025, compared to 95,250 abortions every month in 2024.

There were an estimated 88,180 babies aborted each month in 2023, and 79,620 aborted in 2022.

The group also estimated that over a quarter of the abortions that were carried out in the first half of 2025 (27%) were through telehealth, which means they were done by abortion pills sent through the mail, according to the Daily Wire.

The telehealth abortions were most commonly carried out in states with the strongest pro-life laws, including Texas and Louisiana. Medicated abortion in these states is banned, but the pills are usually sent by doctors from other states.

The number of medicated abortions in Louisiana in 2024 was 7,530, compared to 2,480 in 2023. In Texas, there were an estimated 35,870 medicated abortions in 2024, compared to 12,420 in 2023, the outlet also reported.

The numbers of monthly abortions for the second half of 2025 have not been released so far.

The new statistics come as anti-abortion activists closely aligned with President Donald Trump have grown increasingly frustrated that his administration has refused to revoke or restrain the rule that allows widespread distribution of popular abortion drugs.

“It's hard to understand how on Earth the FDA has left this rule in place," the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America group tweeted last month. "Mail-order abortion drugs don’t just undermine state laws, they cost babies’ lives & send women to the ER

"Abortions are continuing, even rising, because of this rule," it added.

The third phase of the vampire condition is the stealthy approach unto man on his Snake belly of sham

worship of God and being the chosen people of God. Drawing near an intended victim amidst the

darkness of misrepresented brotherhood, liberalism, equality and fraternity hehypnotizes the victim

with a flickering spiritually-black forked tongue of exaggerated friendliness and humane feeling, and

by time he is in striking distance the victim is mentally- paralysed in respect to Jew chicanery. Then,

without any resistance the ==Serpent swallows the victim by first marrying into his family then absorbs it

in mongrelization in efforts to steal the Life Force put in it by God==. Racial characteristics of man are

ignored by the Serpent race. All it is interested in is stealing the Life Force put in man by God.

While doing it he steals every important thing man creates. The prophet Ezekial calls that characteristic

a cormorant because there is no Hebraic for a vampire bat. While preying on man, that vampire race

utterly corrupts him, yet pretends to assist elevate him to the zenith of spiritual attainment. II Peter

2:11, 12 throws light on the condition when he says:

"Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusations against them

before the Lord. But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of things

that they understand not; and shall utterly perishin their own corruption".

Chinese-owned Wilson Security contracts to Defence and Prime Minister’s Office

One of Australia’s largest security companies owned by two Hong Kong billionaires has contracts to protect the Australian Tax Office, Defence Department and Office of Prime Minister and Cabinet.

Wilson Security’s involvement with Australian Government goes back to at least July 2012 when the two billionaire brothers, Thomas and Raymond Kwok, directors of the company, were charged with bribing a Hong Kong government official in a case that shook the Hong Kong establishment.

According to an ABC report leaked documents have revealed that two brothers embroiled in a massive Hong Kong corruption scandal were ultimately in control of an Australian security company that earned roughly half a billion dollars in lucrative government contracts.

Soon after their arrest, the leaked documents, obtained by the ABC’s Four Corners, show the brothers covertly remained directors of the offshore company that ultimately controls Wilson’s operations in Australia — Wilson Offshore Group Holdings (BVI) Limited.

Six months prior to Thomas Kwok’s bribery conviction, in December 2014, Wilson Security was engaged in a tender process for a Defence contract.

In a statement to the ABC, the Department of Defence said “a negotiation process was entered into with Wilson Security Pty Ltd over the period January to June 2014. Wilson Security Pty Ltd did not disclose any bribery offence relating to its directors during this process”.

Since the arrest of the Kwok brothers in July 2012, Wilson Security secured a sub-contract to provide garrison services for Australia’s offshore detention centres on Nauru and Manus Island as well as various other contracts with Defence, The Australian Tax Office and the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.

While the AFP is responsible for personal protection, Wilson Security does currently hold separate government contracts for other security services, including:

Providing general security guard services for the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet’s facilities, a contract running from July 2021 to June 2026.

Providing security services for various Australian Department of Defence sites across several states and territories, including in Victoria, Tasmania, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and South NSW.
