An appointee of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s administration called for the “overthrow” of the United States, it’s been revealed.
Brian Lozenski, a self-described critical race theorist, was appointed by Gov. Walz’s education department to write the statewide curriculum for Minnesota’s new “ethnic studies” standards.
Although the state’s “implementation framework” was earmarked for public consultation, it’s now unlikely the public will have their say before the October 31 deadline. This is despite the controversial nature of the new ethnic studies which critics have labeled “anti-American.”
In a 2022 video, Lozenski talked about the use of critical race theory in schools.
“We don’t use critical race theory in school,” said Lozenski. “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, right?”
Lozenski went on to say that critical race theory is beyond “telling our stories and divers[ity]”.
“t’s not about that. It’s about overthrow. It’s insurgent. And we, we need to be, I think, more honest with that,” he added.
The video has since been deleted, although a snippet was uploaded to social media leaving commentors astonished by Lozenski’s remarks.
Others described his comments as treasonous.
