Page Amendment: Push to change constitution to close education gaps returns to MN Capitol
The Page Amendment would change the state Constitution to make quality education a civil right.
Author:
A proposal to change the Minnesota Constitution to address the gaps in the state s public education system has been reintroduced at the state Capitol.
The Page Amendment, which is named after Alan Page – a former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice, equitable education advocate, and former Vikings player – would change the constitution to say that children have a fundamental right to quality education.
This would give families the ability to go to court if they feel their civil right to quality education has been compromised, says a news release from Our Children MN, an organization created to increase support for the Page Amendment and highlight the state s problematic and well-documented education gap.
