Minnesota's districts are begging a federal judge to restore a policy that was always a courtesy, never a right — proof that "protected spaces" exist only until power decides otherwise.

Minnesota districts are right to demand the judge restore limits on immigration enforcement near schools. The Trump policy tears up a settled boundary that let principals govern campuses, teachers teach, and parents trust the school gate.

Schools collapse when the state treats them like checkpoints.
