Cancel A.G. Ellison? WHAT?
February 27th, 2025
Cancel culture anyone? I’m remembering the furor over refugee resettlement and Goodhue County’s requirement to address refugee resettlement due to Trump’s Executive Order 13888. What a mess that was, and the ugliness was unreal. The county did do the right thing then, that’s good news, and that’s 5 years ago.
- Refugee Resettlement in Goodhue County January 6th, 2020
- Goodhue County consents to continue to accept refugees January 8th, 2020
And now, the above. Attorney General Keith Ellison was to speak, and apparently some parents loudly objected, though it’s not clear, so I’ve sent in a Data Practices Act Request to learn exactly what triggered this response:
If the School District did cancel in response to threats, that only encourages them to keep on threatening, so I hope it was not that. AND if there were threats, those should be prominently published.
I’d like to see this event rescheduled, and if there were objections, to send engraved invitations via mail, and a letter to all of them by name published in the paper, inviting any objectors to attend. If there were threats, objections, that should not be swept under the rug.
In the meantime, from A.G. Ellison’s page, there are forums scheduled in March:
