Minnesota Governor (and Kamala Harris’s running mate) Tim Walz appointed Brian Lozenski to implement the curriculum in public schools. It is now revealed that Mr. Lozenski is a staunch supporter of critical race theory.
In a video shared on social media, Lozenski explains that CRT is very much about the ‘overthrow’ of the United States.
Stanley Kurtz broke the story at National Review:
Walz Education Appointee Calls for the Overthrow of the U.S.Brian Lozenski, an associate professor of urban and multicultural education at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minn., was appointed by Governor Tim Walz’s state education department to help write the statewide “implementation framework” (similar to a curriculum) for Minnesota’s new “ethnic studies” standards. It now emerges that Lozenski has called for the “overthrow” of the United States.Lozenski is no outlier. On the contrary, he has been the leading voice advocating the addition of a radical version of “ethnic studies” to Minnesota’s social-studies standards (citizenship and government, economics, geography, history, and now ethnic studies). Lozenski is also the key organizer and thought leader for the radical leftist advocacy groups that Governor Walz has effectively put in charge of rewriting Minnesota’s social-studies standards.While Lozenski’s call for the overthrow of the United States is the clearest expression of his radical stance to date, it’s hardly surprising. For years, conservative voices in Minnesota have sounded the alarm over the extremism of Lozenski and his allies. Maybe now, Walz will have to answer for putting Lozenski and his friends in charge of education in the state.
More from FOX News:
In a video first reported on by the National Review and posted to YouTube on June 19, 2022, by The Solidarity Network, Lozenski spoke about his research with a panel. He even touched on Critical Race Theory, a school of thought that generally focuses on how power structures and institutions affect racial minorities. The video was removed from YouTube late Wednesday evening.”We don’t use critical race theory in school,” Lozenski said. “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 with. It must be overthrown.”We can be like, ‘Oh no, critical race theory is just about telling our stories and diversity,’” he added. “It’s not about that. It’s about overgrowth. It is insurgent.”

David Strom of Hot Air, who is from Minnesota, commented on this story:
Walz has been pushing Critical Race Theory and alphabet ideology into the public schools, so it is no surprise that his appointees are all about destroying America.He believes the country to be fundamentally, systemically, and endemically racist, sexist, and homophobic, and his goal has been to turn our state into the People’s Republic of Minnesota.As Vice President, his goal will still be more ambitious: to upend American society.
Conservatives and centrists have done a tremendous amount of successful work in education in recent years, empowering parents and removing woke madness from classrooms. All of those efforts will likely be for naught if Harris and Walz get their hands on the Department of Education.
