Child Protection League has been exposing and opposing Minnesota’s new Marxist teacher licensing standards for over two years. Our battle exploded onto the national scene last week when Joy Pullman, executive editor of The Federalist, published her article ‘Minnesota Poised To Ban Christians, Muslims, and Jews From Teaching In Public Schools.’ With Governor Walz now campaigning as the Vice-Presidential candidate beside Presidential candidate Kamela Harris, the national spotlight is suddenly shining on Minnesota. We welcome the attention and the opportunity for the whole world to learn about Tim Walz’s Marxist takeover of Minnesota’s education system. Everyone must understand that Tim Walz is a dangerous man.
Multiple major news organizations such as Judicial Watch, World Net Daily, Gateway Pundit, Infowars, Trending Politics, LifeSiteNews, and innumerable others quickly picked up the story with reprints, reposts, shares, or restatements of The Federalist information that CPL has been researching and sharing with the public since 2022. In fact, The Federalist story has gone so viral that Snopes issued their typical fake ‘fact-check’ denying what is obviously true.
An earlier January 2023 story by Pullman explaining Minnesota’s pending new standards also referenced the work of both CPL and Center of the American Experiment. This was long before anyone anticipated that Tim Walz’s education plan would become a 2024 presidential election flashpoint.
Governor Walz’s Minnesota blueprint for transforming public schools into k-12 Marxist/Maoist programing centers will remain a flash point in the national political debate in the coming months. It will not quickly fade from the public square because it reflects the Marxist indoctrination that drove stunned parents nationwide to confront their local school boards. When COVID school closures brought curriculum directly into their homes, parents were shocked to learn that Johnny was being taught to be ashamed he is white, and that “inclusion” required him to read sexually perverse books.
This issue has significant presidential campaign ramifications!
As Pullman points out, Tim Walz’s education plan mandates teachers to:
- “affirm” and teach “white supremacy” and “systemic racism”;
- affirm and teach “intersectionality” such as ones’ “race” and “gender identities”;
- place each child into either an “oppressed” or “oppressor” identity group;
- affirm social “equity” (equal outcomes) and denigrate merit; and
- teach children to become “agents of social change to promote equity.”
The new Minnesota Marxist teacher licensing standards do in fact force Christians, Jews, and Muslims to either adopt heresies to their faith, or be denied a teaching license in Minnesota (War on Christians). They are in a lose/lose situation.
It’s not only Tim Walz’s teacher licensing requirements that demand affirmation and demonstration of Marxist ideologies in the classroom. The Professional Educators Licensing & Standards Board (PELSB), all Tim Walz appointees, also commissioned a rewrite of Minnesota history standards which embed the same radical ideologies. He also signed into law, a new PELSB-drafted Ethnic Studies requirement which Stanley Kurtz, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, described as “race based neo-Marxism.” He said the requirements are “stealth critical race theory” and the “worst” education standards in the country.
Tim Walz has saturated Minnesota schools with Marxist dogmas through licensing requirements for teachers and through curriculum content standards for students. Dr. James Lindsay describes this as the Marxification of Education.
While Tim Walz forged ahead with his Marxification of education, Minnesota’s reading and math outcomes plummeted. The dramatic declines began in 2019, long before his draconian Covid lockdowns and extended school closings…and as he was pouring buckets of money into the public education cabal.
Governor Walz wants to be seen as a regular, folksy, teacher and coach, someone you would trust to instruct your child. But he is not your average next-door neighbor. CPL has long identified him as a skilled and well-trained Marxist. But the sudden national attention has revealed even more troubling revelations about his deep fondness for Chinese Communism.
The Washington Free Beacon reports in “Walz Praised Chinese Communism as a System Where ‘Everyone Shares”:
“It means that everyone is the same and everyone shares,” Walz said during a lesson on China’s communist system in November 1991. “The doctor and the construction worker make the same. The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kg or about 30 pounds of rice per month. They get food and housing.”
Should Walz attain the office of Vice President, America would have a Communist China sympathizer a heartbeat away from the Presidency. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said during an interview last weekend that she is “100% convinced Tim Walz is a national security risk.”
U.S. Congressman James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has launched an investigation into Tim Walz’s “possible CCP [Chinese Communist Party] influence in his decision-making as governor — and should he be elected, as Vice President.”
Tim Walz is an arrogant elitist too. He referred to areas of Minnesota outside the deep blue cities as “just rocks and cows.” In an early August interview, he dismissed criticism of his socialism with the comment, “One person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.”
Tim Walz is transforming education into something unrecognizable. Marxism is an atheistic ideology denying truth, the existence of God, and the laws of God. Marxists abhor the genuine faith, the traditional family, individual merit, and personal responsibility. Marxists do not believe our individual rights are inalienable and from God but are allocated and granted to us by the ruling elites. Marxist have always had one primary goal in mind – revolution.
Do Not Be Fooled! Marxists are experts at linguistic theft, dishonesty, and the manipulation of language. Pay attention to Minnesota, because Tim Walz’s actions speak louder than his words. His actions demonstrate what he has planned for the entire country.
