Minnesota School Board Clerk Sparks Backlash Over June 21 'White Corpses' Cemetery Post

Summary
Chauntyll Allen, clerk of the St. Paul Public Schools board, drew backlash after a June 21 Facebook post said dogs should "piss on the White corpses" in Christian cemeteries instead of on indigenous land.
The remark came during a fight over Minneapolis' Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park, which the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board voted 8-1 to close by year-end because the site is considered sacred to Dakota tribes.
That area includes Mni Owe Sni, or Coldwater Spring, a Traditional Cultural Place where unmarked graves from the 1862 U.S.-Dakota War are believed to exist.
St. Paul Public Schools said it was aware of Allen's post but had no further comment; Allen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Allen already faces federal felony charges tied to a Jan. 18 anti-ICE church invasion in St. Paul, adding to scrutiny of the school board official and Black Lives Matter Twin Cities leader.
