The letter was sent on April 14, 2023, and is still publicly available on the Minnesota Catholic Conference\u2019s website.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sounds like a serious warning, and only a severe idiot would ignore it. Oh, yeah &#8211; the recipient was our almost-VP Governor Tim Walz. Two years ago.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The leaders expressed serious concern that the 72,000 students enrolled in independent, Catholic, Jewish, Christian and Muslim schools in Minnesota could be in danger due to nonpublic schools being excluded from the $50 million Building and Cyber Security Grant Program and the state\u2019s Safe Schools Program, which provides emergency response training, security upgrades, mental health services and other security measures.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the Minnesota Catholic Conference confirmed the letter\u2019s authenticity to Fox News Digital. Though declining to comment further, the spokesperson confirmed the requests made in the letter were never granted.<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson additionally pointed to additional requests the conference and Minnesota Catholic bishops had made in 2022 to Walz for Catholic and other nonpublic schools to be included in the state\u2019s school safety programs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You would think the state government would be increasing security measures, right? Not for private or religious schools.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Minnesota legislature is currently considering a school safety law, the SHIELD bill, that would increase state funding for school security systems. As the bill stands, nonpublic schools would not be eligible for the additional security funding afforded if the bill was passed into law.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/unearthed-letter-exposes-how-minnesota-catholic-leaders-warned-walz-school-safety\">Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>First, do nothing.
