January Millstone award goes to Minnesota leftist educator who wants to ‘overthrow’ the United States
A radical leftist appointed by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to a state education task force is the January recipient of United States Parents Involved in Education’s (USPIE) monthly Millstone Award. USPIE’s Millstone of the Month award goes to the person involved in government schools who has committed the most egregious acts against children.
Brian Lozenski, an associate professor of urban and multicultural education at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is helping to write the statewide “implementation framework” for Minnesota’s new “ethnic studies” standards.
Among other things, Lozenski has called for the “overthrow” of the United States.
“This is a key example of the leftist indoctrination in America’s public schools and how federal funding funnels wokeness and other evil to local schools,” says Sheri Few, founder and president of United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE).
“For far too long, our children have been at the mercy of ideologues like Brian Lozenski, who teach them to hate America, split into identity groups, embrace all forms of radicalism, and be at odds with their parents. Lozenski richly deserves our January Millstone Award.”
In a lengthy profile of Lozenski published by National Review, Stanley Kurtz methodically rips away the jargon, euphemisms and outright deceptions to reveal his Marxist sympathies and methods.
“Lozenski wants to see America’s system of government ‘overthrown,’ ‘done with,’ ‘deconstructed,’” Kurtz writes. “He takes it for granted that he and other [Critical Race Theory] advocates are anti-U.S. In fact, Lozenski laughs with pleasure when he says that the reason he’s a critical race theorist is precisely because he seeks the overthrow of the United States.”
“Tim Walz, who ran for vice president on Kamala Harris’s ticket, appointed Lozenski,” Few says. “I’m wondering now if more Americans had known about Lozenski and other bizarre Walz appointees whether the Trump/Vance victory on November 5 would have been even more resounding.”
Kurtz further shared this about Lozenski:
“He 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.”
“He is a prime example of why USPIE is calling for an end to all federal education mandates,” Few says.
United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) is a nonprofit, nationwide coalition that seeks to return education to its proper local roots and restore parental authority over their children’s education by helping parents and local communities to escape federal and other national influences. It is the vision of USPIE to create a culture where parents, empowered with the authority to choose what and how their children learn, are the undisputed primary educators of their children, where local schools operate in support of families, and where education is unencumbered by federal mandates.
