Many of the state&#8217;s minority teachers follow this path to obtain their permanent licenses, which last three years and can be renewed indefinitely. The new legislation would eliminate that pathway and close off &#8220;pathways to teachers of color,&#8221; according to Joshua Crossen, director of the Minnesota-based EdAllies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Twenty-five percent of teachers of color will be pushed out of education,&#8221; Crossen told the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>. &#8220;It&#8217;s unfortunate that [the bill] includes licensure language meant to push teachers of color out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Clossen, Tier 2 teachers who relied on the current pathway could have their licenses revoked.<\/p>\n<p>Catrin Wigfall, a policy fellow at the Center for the American Experiment, told the <em>Washington&nbsp;Free Beacon<\/em> that the changes would create undue &#8220;roadblocks&#8221; for accomplished minority educators. &#8220;Why would we undo teacher licensure reforms that are creating significant new pathways for teachers, particularly teachers of color, to enter the classroom?&#8221; she asked.<\/p>\n<p>The bill parallels Minnesota Gov.

Released in January, the plan includes efforts to &#8220;address systemic racism&#8221; in Minnesota schools and close the gap between the number of minority students and teachers in Minnesota schools.<\/p>\n<p>None of the Minnesota legislators behind the bill responded to the <em>Free Beacon<\/em>\u2018s request for comment.
