Today, the MN Senate Education Policy Committee will hear testimony on SF1474, which extends MN's direct admissions program. The program has seen early success in increasing both FAFSA completion & college enrollment & would help students see a path to higher education. #MNLeg

Really rich piece from @bzosiad.bsky.social on the tools the federal government can and can't use to roll back protections for students, ethnic studies, and more. sahanjournal.com/education/tr...
Could Trump force Minnesota schools to change race, gender policies?
