Minnesota School Board Member Advocates for Dogs to Urinate on 'White Corpses' in Cemeteries

A Minnesota school board member sparked outrage by suggesting that dogs should urinate on "White corpses" in cemeteries, declaring in a social media post that people should "leave indigenous land sacred and piss on the White corpses" instead.

Chauntyll Allen, a clerk for the St. Paul Public Schools Board of Education, made these incendiary remarks during a heated debate over the future of Minneapolis' Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park, which the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board voted 8-1 to close by year’s end.

In a June 21 post on the "We Love Our Dog Park: Minnehaha" Facebook page, Allen provocatively stated, "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 decision to shut down the dog park stemmed from concerns that it lies within the Mni Owe Sni (Coldwater Spring) Traditional Cultural Place, a site sacred to Dakota tribes, believed to contain unmarked graves from the US-Dakota War of 1862.

Allen is currently facing federal felony charges related to her involvement in the January 18 invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul. During this protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement, she and others stormed the church while services were ongoing.

Leading Black Lives Matter Twin Cities, Allen told TMZ in January that ICE was "terrorizing our women and our children," referencing the shooting death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer as "the most graphic murder."

She criticized pastor David Easterwood for his ties to ICE, stating, "And then we have the head of this whole operation standing in a pulpit preaching to a congregation every Sunday morning. And that was really just not OK for us."

Allen justified her actions during the church invasion, saying, "I believe that’s what needed to be done to get the message across. I mean my mother’s a pastor and so I grew up in Christianity, I grew up in the church. And one of the things I remember about Jesus Christ himself is that when things weren’t going right in the church, he went in and he flipped tables."

The St. Paul Board of Education acknowledged awareness of Allen's social media post but declined to comment further.

Allen did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
