A Minnesota high school has threatneed to suspend students who talk positively about Immigration and Customers Enforcement (ICE) agents.
Paul Paetzel, the principal at Edina High School in Minnesota, has warned that making reference to the work of ICE agents and President Trump’s policy of mass deportations goes against the “culture” that his school is trying to foster.
He wrote in a letter parents:
I want to speak directly and proactively about the culture we are committed to creating at Edina High School.
As we continue to grow as a community, it is essential that we are clear about the expectations we hold for language and behavior that honor the dignity of every student.
Making light of immigration threats or referencing ICE in ways that cause fear or humiliation is a serious offense and not representative of our core values.
Behavior of this nature fundamentally violates our commitment to providing a safe and equitable learning environment free from harassment.
Such language and behaviors directly contradict Edina Public Schools’ vision and mission, and what we expect of our students.
If this type of behavior occurs, we will honor the discipline policy and move forward with consequences up to and including suspension.
Our responsibility is to protect every student’s right to feel safe, respected, and valued at school.
OMG

The school, which educates over 2,700 students in grades nine through 12, is said to be among one of the best performing in the country.
His comments come at a time when Minnesota and its outsized Somali population are under intense scrutiny.
Thousands of Somalis, many of whom are residing in the U.S. illegally, were recently found to committed major social security fraud under the leadership of the state’s governor and failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz.
Nevertheless, Walz has insisted that it is white men who are really at fault and that he is determined to welcome more people in from the failed and war-torn African nation.
“We are going to defend our neighbors,” Walz said at fundraiser last week.
“Instead of demonizing our Somali community, we’re going to do more to welcome more in.”
BREAKING: Gov. Tim Walz was asked if he thinks Somali leaders need to hold their own accountable.
