‘White Allies May Attend Other Circle Trainings’: As Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz Held Racially Segregated Programs for Teachers and Vets
23rd September 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris says her running mate, Tim Walz, is going to help her “unify this country.” As governor of Minnesota, however, Walz explicitly divided people, holding training sessions for teachers and military veterans that were segregated by race, the Washington Free Beacon found.
In 2022, for example, Walz’s Department of Education held restorative justice “trainings and sessions” for teachers and other school officials. Participants were explicitly divided by race, with the agency establishing a “People of Color Affinity Community” for “people who personally identify as Black People, Indigenous People and People of Color.” The agency advised “White Allies” to “attend other circle trainings.”
