The District 206 School Board is set to decide on March 17, 2025, whether or not to administer the Minnesota Student Survey, which has come under fire for potentially violating a recent Executive Order issued by President Trump. The Executive Order prohibits schools from encouraging “social transitioning,” which includes adopting a gender identity different from one’s sex. The survey in question asks students about their gender identity and sexual orientation, directly defying the Executive Order.
Failure to comply with the Executive Order could result in the district losing federal funding and the state facing up to $2 billion in costs if found in violation of federal law. Pastor Darryl Knappen from Alexandria, MN, has voiced concerns about the potential consequences of administering the survey. The controversy surrounding the survey and the Executive Order highlights the ongoing debate over LGBTQ rights and education policy in schools.
