Minnesota school board member under fire after saying dogs should urinate on 'White corpses' in cemeteries
Chauntyll Allen, St. Paul Public Schools board member, allegedly suggested dogs should relieve themselves in Christian cemeteries amid dog park debate.
A Minnesota school board member is facing backlash after suggesting that dogs should be allowed to relieve themselves in Christian cemeteries, writing 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 the remarks amid a contentious debate over what is to become of Minneapolis' Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park, which the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board recently voted 8-1 to close by the end of the year.
In the June 21 post on the "We Love Our Dog Park: Minnehaha" Facebook page, Allen wrote, according to Alpha News, "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 board's decision to close the park was due to concern that it is part of the Mni Owe Sni (Coldwater Spring) Traditional Cultural Place, which is sacred to Dakota tribes and where unmarked graves from the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 is thought to exist, Alpha News reported.
Allen is facing federal felony charges in connection with the Jan. 18 invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul where she was part of an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest where she and others stormed the church during services.
Allen, who leads Black Lives Matter Twin Cities, told TMZ in an interview in January that ICE was "terrorizing our women and our children" and said the shooting death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer was "the most graphic murder."
"And then we have the head of this whole operation standing in a pulpit preaching to a congregation every Sunday morning," she said of pastor David Easterwood and his apparent ties to ICE. "And that was really just not OK for us."
"I believe that’s what needed to be done to get the message across," Allen said in regard to storming the church. "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 told Fox News Digital it was aware of the social media post and had no further comment. Allen didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
