Tim Walz’s Minnesota Department of Education, excoriating the professor’s previous comments that the U.S. be “overthrown” because it is “irreversibly racist.”

“[Brian Lozenski] has clearly explained, publicly and on video, that he supports the deconstruction and overthrow of the United States because our nation is irredeemably racist and evil. This is a radical and destructive worldview, that, because of Governor Walz’s recent signing of Minnesota’s education law, will be taught to thousands of children across your state,” Banks, who is running for the Senate and secured an endorsement from former President Trump last month, wrote in his letter. 

The letter was first obtained by Fox News Digital and calls on Jennifer Hoppenstedt, interim inspector general of the Minnesota Department of Education, to investigate Brian Lozenski, associate professor of urban and multicultural education at Macalester College, over comments calling for an “insurrection against the United States.” Macalester College is a private liberal arts school in St. Paul, Minnesota.
