An associate professor for urban and multicultural studies who was appointed by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s education department to craft a new curriculum for “ethnic studies” called for the “overthrow” of the United States.
Macalester College Professor Brian Lozenski made the comments during a spring 2022 Zoom meeting related to the debate around critical race theory (CRT), according to a report from National Review.
“The first tenet of critical race theory is that the United States as constructed is irreversibly racist,” Lozenski said. “So if the nation-state as constructed is irreversibly racist, then it must be done with, it must be overthrown.”
Tim Walz appointed this psychopath to help oversee “ethnic studies” for schools in Minnesota.

“We can’t be like, ‘Oh no, critical race theory is just about telling our stories and diver[sity],’” Lozenski continued. “It’s not about that. It’s about overthrow. It’s insurgent.”
According to National Review, Lozenski “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,” the magazine reported. “For years, conservative voices in Minnesota have sounded the alarm over the extremism of Lozenski and his allies.
