BLM chapter founder quits, calls out group's 'ugly truth' regarding lack of education priority
Fox News
Rashad Turner, the founder of the Black Lives Matter chapter in St. Paul, Minnesota, told “Fox & Friends First” Wednesday that he left the group for its failure to prioritize education - arguing it should be the focus when “doing what’s best for Black families.”
"In 2015, I was the founder of Black Lives Matter in St. Paul," said Rashad Turner, who now leads the pro-school choice group, Minnesota Parent Union. "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," he added in the video published to YouTube last week. In the video, Turner claimed Black Lives Matter "cared even less" about "improving the quality of education for students in Minneapolis," which he argued, "was made clear when they publicly denounced charter schools alongside the teachers' union."More Related News
