WATCH: A black mother is warning that an ethnic studies bill before Minnesota's legislature is “really racist at its core.” “The whole curriculum just groups kids by race & pits them against each other,” said Kofi Montzka, an attorney & mother of three.
Kofi Montzka, an attorney and mother of three boys, said the state bill that would require the state’s elections commission to “embed ethnic studies into state academic standards” was actually bringing racism back.“Ethnic studies is not as benign as you would think it is, the way they talk about it,” Montzka told The Ingraham Angle. “I couldn’t even believe it when I read the bill. The exact language, like the language about stratification based on race. They talk about institutional racism.
“Really, although they say it’s anti-racist, it’s really racist at its core,” she added. “The whole curriculum just groups kids by race and pits them against each other.” Kofi Montzka, a lawyer and a mother to three boys, testified against Gov. Walz’s education policy bill Tuesday. She said the language of the bill “tells kids of color that they are stuck in a caste system based on their race.”— Alpha News March 23, 2023
While speaking at a hearing regarding the bill, Montzka said the bill only gives children a reason to stop trying to succeed.Montzka told The Ingraham Angle that proponents of the bill suggest that people of different cultures “need to see themselves” in the curriculum. However, she said that is unhelpful and unrealistic.“The only way we’re going to succeed in this country is if we can read, write, and do math. You don’t need to see yourself in the culture,” Montzka said.
“Kids learn culture from their parents. It’s not the school’s job to do it. The only way the school would do that would be to teach stereotypes,” she continued. “I don’t even want to know what they would teach about the black language to the kids. Teach stereotypes and they would be excluding some cultures at some point. It’s the parent's job to do that, and it’s not the school's job.”
