The founder of a Minnesota Black Lives Matter chapter said he turned his back on the organization because the ugly truth is the group s leaders don t care about Black families.
Rashad Turner, who is now executive director of the Minnesota Parent Union, stressed the need for education in helping Black families change their lives for the better. Turner, who was founder of the St. Paul chapter of the group in 2015, said he left after just two years when he realized BLM leaders were issuing statements against teachers unions and even the nuclear family structure. Turner released a video Wednesday last week that described his falling out with BLM for not caring about improving the quality of education for students across the state.
The founder of Black Lives Matter in St. Paul, Minnesota recently released a video in which he called out the group's “ugly truth,” by which he meant their positions on family and education.
