A founder of the Black Lives Matter chapter in St. Paul says he resigned over what he described as the organization’s lack of interest in supporting Black families and opposition to school choice, calling it “the ugly truth.”
“I was an insider in Black Lives Matter. And I learned the ugly truth,” Rashad Turner said in a video posted Thursday on YouTube by TakeCharge Minnesota.
Mr. Turner, a Minneapolis native who now serves as executive director of the Minnesota Parent Union, said he was the first person in his family to graduate from college. He then earned a master’s degree in education from St. Mary’s University in Winona, Minnesota.
“I am living proof that no matter your start in life, quality education is a pathway to success,” he said. “I want the same success for our children in our communities. That’s why in 2015, I was a founder of Black Lives Matter in St. Paul. I believed the organization stood for exactly what the name implies: Black lives do matter.”
“However, after a year on the inside, I learned they had little concern for rebuilding Black families, and they cared even less about improving the quality of education for students in Minneapolis,” he said.
He cited the 2016 platform by the Movement for Black Lives, a network that includes Black Lives Matter, which called for a moratorium on charter schools, siding with national teachers’ unions despite support within the Black community for options to traditional public schools.
“The moratorium on charter schools does not support rebuilding the Black family. But it does create barriers to a better education for Black children,” Mr. Turner said. “I resigned from Black Lives Matter after a year and a half. But I didn’t quit working to improve black lives and access to a great education.”
I mean, they state it on their website. It's part of their manifesto. The destruction of the Black family. They oppose charter schools. They oppose Black Lives. Their founder buys several houses from all the money she got and moves in to a White neighborhood.
Blacks....bamboozled yet again!
Liberals right now:
