Minnesota Governor Tim Walz appointed Macalester College Professor Brian Lozenski, who believes the U.S. is “irreversibly racist” and should be “overthrown,” to develop a new “ethnic studies” curriculum in the North Star state. During a Zoom call in the Spring of 2022, Lozenski described himself as a critical race theorist, stating that critical race theory (CRT) is anti-America and is intended to dismantle the country.
“The first tenet of Critical Race Theory is that the United States as constructed is irreversibly racist. So, if the nation-state as constructed is irreversibly racist, then it must be done [away] with; it must be overthrown,” Lozenski said.
“[W]e can’t be like, ‘Oh, no, Critical Race Theory is just about telling our stories and diversity’—it’s not about that. It’s about overthrow; it’s insurgent,” he reiterated, adding that while CRT‘s critics “don’t understand” it, they “actually tell some truth” when they characterize it as “anti-state.”
“You can’t be a critical race theorist and be pro-U.S.,” he explained. “[I]t says the United States needs to be deconstructed, period.”
Lozenski was appointed to Governor Walz’s state education department to help devise a statewide “implementation framework” for “ethnic studies,” which is being incorporated into social studies standards alongside teaching on citizenship, economics, history, and related subjects.
Governor Walz, facing mounting pressure over Lozenski’s appointment, is preparing for a vice-presidential debate with Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) on Tuesday. Education, particularly declining student performance in Minnesota under Walz, is likely to be among the issues the would-be vice presidents discuss.
Tim Walz appointed this psychopath to help oversee “ethnic studies” for schools in Minnesota.
