We need to unmask the illiteracy machine that is here in Minnesota with our education system.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id>\n<p><em>LAURA INGRAHAM, FOX NEWS HOST: For much of the last year, the Angle warned you that the Black Lives Matter movement not only was going to bring destruction and chaos to inner city communities across the country, but that it wanted to destroy the nuclear family structure while lining their own pockets. Now thankfully, we\u2019re not the only ones who saw BLM for what it really was. Our next guest gives us an inside look at why he left the St. Paul chapter of BLM shortly after joining. <\/em><em>\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Rashad Turner is now the executive director of the Minnesota Parent Union and he joins us now. Rashad, thank you so much for joining us. Do you expect more BLM members to come to the same conclusion that you have, especially on this schools issue?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>RASHAD TURNER: I mean, I\u2019m hoping so. When you look at the education gaps here in Minnesota, black kids compared to white kids, it just baffles me that Black Lives Matter as a national organization is not taking a close look at the black minds that are being affected every day due to policies that teachers unions like Education Minnesota, and their leader Denise Specht put into place. I mean, I\u2019m very, still very frustrated. I mean, it\u2019s hard to truly believe that people feel like black lives matter if black minds don\u2019t matter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>INGRAHAM: Well, BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors has made it abundantly clear, Rashad, about what her organization is really all about.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>[START VIDEO]<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>PATRISSE CULLORS, BLM CO-FOUNDER: I need to set the record straight. Am I a Marxist? I do believe in Marxism. It\u2019s a philosophy that I learned really early on \u2026 because the U.S. is so good at propaganda and being like this, it has sold the idea of the American dream and that\u2019s tied into capitalism and wealth. It\u2019s much harder to sell communism.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>[END VIDEO]<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>INGRAHAM: Rashad, it\u2019s much much harder to sell communism. I mean, so the American Dream is just a propaganda ploy. So is that really what young black youth need to hear today?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TURNER: Well, I\u2019ll tell you this, for thinking about the American dream, you are not going to realize that American Dream if you cannot read. So, Patrisse Cullors and other leaders like herself, should be focused on illiteracy rates, instead of, you know, talking about this country being a propaganda machine. One of the things that I want to point out to Laura, is that when I hear things like that, and I think about the fact that BLM has been co-opted by the American Federation of Teachers, I think that\u2019s where those messages come from. BLM has been co-opted, and when I say co-opted, I mean, teachers unions who show up to these woke BLM marches, they have their signs, you might see the sign in their yard that says \u201cBlack Lives Matter.\u201d But Monday through Friday, teachers unions are killing our children\u2019s hopes and dreams. So if we\u2019re talking about propaganda, we need to be looking at the teachers unions, and the sick mess that they\u2019re putting out there that\u2019s keeping our children out of schools these past couple of years, keeping the masks on our children. We need to unmask the illiteracy machine that is here in Minnesota with our education system.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>INGRAHAM: And the critical race theory in Minnesota that\u2019s obviously taking hold, how is that affecting the minds of black youth?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TURNER: Well, I\u2019ll tell you this, and some folks, you know, I\u2019ve been getting sort of beat up by the woke folks all day. So I do want to send a shout out to all of the patriots who have been very supportive since this video is dropped. But I haven\u2019t seen an acronym come through our schools, whether it\u2019s CRT, ABCDEF, you name it, none of those acronyms have led to more black children being able to read. So, if we\u2019re talking about something that\u2019s critical, let\u2019s talk about a critical literacy theory. Let\u2019s talk about critical theories around quality education. If Black Lives truly matter, teachers unions and the status quo left, the folks who claim to be woke, they need to be voting for the expansion of parent choice. They need to make quality education a civil right for our children. That\u2019s how they can show us that Black Lives truly matter.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
