If Kamala Harris would pick someone like Tim Walz, what kind of people would Tim Walz pick? The answer: Brian Lozenski.
Stanley Kurtz reports:
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.
The release of this framework has been delayed, evidently until after the election, for reasons that become obvious when you consider that Lozenski has explicitly called for the overthrow of the USA.
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.
Imagine an entire nation of the most radical moonbats. That’s what we will soon have if Democrats retain control of the government and through it the schools.
Lozenski’s 2022 book, My Emancipation Don’t Fit Your Equation: Critical Enactments of Black Education in the US, is his most important academic work. On May 27, 2022, Lozenski recorded a Zoom video, posted to YouTube, about his book. That video event was called “Education in the Blacklight: Fugitivity, Abolition, and Accommodation.”
In this video, he explicitly calls for America to be destroyed using the wrecking ball of critical race theory.
Lozenski presents his doctrine:
“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. And so we can’t be like, ‘Oh no, critical race theory is just about telling our stories and divers[ity].’ It’s not about that. It’s about overthrow. It’s insurgent. And we, we need to be, I think, more honest with that. And it’s funny that they [so-called supremacists], you know, they don’t understand critical race theory, but they actually tell some truth when they’re like, yeah, it is anti-state. You can’t be a critical race theorist and be pro-U.S. Okay, it is an anti-state theory that says, The United States needs to be deconstructed, period. Right. Like that’s, you know, and so I think, I think it’s an interesting argument there. And that’s why I’m a critical race theorist [laughs].”
Cultural Marxism is at bottom Marxism, the same system that produced 100 million corpses under Mao, Stalin, et al. That’s why Lozenski pushes the concept of “racial capitalism,” according to which economic freedom must be abolished because it is inherently racist.
Personnel is policy. Under Democrat rule, that policy will be the systematic destruction of our country. Lozenski spells it out:
