Chauntyll Allen, clerk of the St. Paul Public Schools Board of Education and co-founder of Black Lives Matter Twin Cities, posted a suggestion on Facebook on June 21 that Christian cemeteries should be converted into dog parks so animals could urinate on the dead. The post appeared on the "We Love Our Dog Park: Minnehaha" Facebook page, a community group dedicated to a local off-leash park slated for closure.

Allen is currently facing federal felony charges for storming a church during Sunday worship in January.

Here's what she wrote, verbatim: "I don't get why we don't just make dog parks at White Christian cemeteries if White Christians are ok with it? This is a simple fix. Leave the indigenous land sacred and piss on the White corpses."

The context, for what it's worth, is a fight over the Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park in Minneapolis. The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board voted 8-1 to close the park by the end of the year after indigenous activists argued the site sits on the Mni Owe Sni Traditional Cultural Place, land sacred to Dakota tribes. Some believe the area may contain unmarked graves connected to the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862.

That's a legitimate historical question. Reasonable people can discuss what to do with a park that might sit on top of graves. Allen's contribution to that discussion was to suggest relocating dog waste onto the bodies of white Christians instead.

The federal charges stem from January 18, when roughly 30 to 40 protesters stormed Cities Church in St. Paul during a morning worship service. The mob targeted the church because a pastor there was believed to also serve as a local ICE official. Allen was arrested by FBI and Homeland Security Investigations agents on January 22 and charged with conspiracy to deprive rights — a federal felony that makes it unlawful for two or more people to conspire to intimidate any person in the free exercise of a right secured by the Constitution.

She previously justified the church invasion by comparing it to Jesus flipping tables in the temple and told media outlets that ICE was "terrorizing our women and our children."

The St. Paul Board of Education's official response to her cemetery post was a masterpiece of institutional spine: "The district has been made aware of this social media post and does not have further comment." Allen herself did not respond to requests for comment from multiple outlets.

Legal scholar Jonathan Turley noted the irony of Allen's position — a public official charged with violating the constitutional rights of churchgoers now publicly calling for the desecration of Christian burial sites. The pattern isn't subtle. Churches are targets for mob action. Christian cemeteries are proposed toilets. And the person advocating both holds a position overseeing the education of children in Minnesota's capital city.

So a co-founder of Black Lives Matter Twin Cities, currently under federal indictment for leading a mob into a house of worship, sits on a school board and publicly fantasizes about desecrating graves sorted by race and religion. The district has no further comment.

Neither does the post. It's still up.
