Excellent thread by Sahan Journal education reporter Becky Dernbach on the broad impact of DEI cuts to three Minnesota teacher training programs.

As Minnesota faces a teacher shortage, particularly in special education, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are cutting the state’s federal grants to train new teachers. Here’s what that means for students and teachers across the state: 🧵 1/

I've taught with Sam Carlson and he would be an incredible, and much needed, special ed teacher. The loss of future teachers like Sam would be a huge loss.

The University of St. Thomas has lost two teacher prep grants and the U of M has lost another in recent weeks as part of the Trump administration’s cuts aimed at DEI initiatives. The cuts come as Minnesota school districts are facing a teacher shortage. Written by @bzosiad.bsky.social
