A St. Paul school board official posted on Facebook that dogs should “piss on the White corpses” in cemeteries — and she’s already facing federal felony charges for storming a church.
Story Snapshot
- Chauntyll Allen, clerk of the St. Paul Public Schools Board of Education and Black Lives Matter Twin Cities co-founder, posted the remarks on June 21, 2026.
- Allen suggested White Christian cemeteries be turned into dog parks so dogs could urinate on the graves — a reaction to a Minneapolis park board vote closing a local dog park.
- Allen already faces federal felony charges for leading a protest that stormed a Minneapolis church during a Sunday service.
- Critics say a sitting school board official has no business making racially charged, hateful remarks about the deceased and their families.
What Allen Said and Why She Said It
On June 21, 2026, Chauntyll Allen posted on the “We Love Our Dog Park: Minnehaha” Facebook page. Her words: “Leave the indigenous land sacred and piss on the White corpses.” The post came just after the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board voted 8-1 to close the Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park by the end of 2026. The board said the site is Mni Owe Sni, also known as Coldwater Spring — a place sacred to Dakota tribes, possibly containing unmarked graves from the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. [1]
Allen is a co-founder of Black Lives Matter Twin Cities and serves as clerk of the St. Paul Public Schools Board of Education. That official role makes her words more than just a social media rant. She speaks with the authority of a public school board position. Parents, teachers, and students in St. Paul deserve better from someone trusted with that office. [1]
A Pattern of Extreme Conduct
The cemetery remarks are not Allen’s first brush with controversy. She faces federal felony charges for conspiracy to deprive constitutional rights. The charges stem from a January 2023 incident in which protesters stormed Cities Church in Minneapolis during a Sunday morning service, injuring people inside. [10] Despite those pending charges, St. Paul Public Schools publicly honored Allen as a “black woman of impact” in March 2023. That recognition raised serious questions about whether the institution holds its own officials accountable.
The cemetery post also has factual problems. Allen called for targeting “White Christian cemeteries,” but major St. Paul cemeteries like Calvary, a Catholic burial ground, and Oakland, a non-denominational cemetery, hold people of many backgrounds. [1] Her call was both hateful and factually off base — the kind of reckless rhetoric that poisons public debate rather than advancing any real argument about land rights.
Why This Should Alarm Every Parent
School board members set the tone for public schools. They vote on curricula, budgets, and policies that shape how children learn. When a board clerk publicly calls for desecrating graves based on race and religion, it signals a deep hostility toward basic American values — respect for the dead, equal dignity regardless of race, and civil public discourse. No parent should have to wonder whether the official overseeing their child’s school holds this kind of contempt for entire groups of people. [1][13]
Allen’s comments drew swift backlash online. Community members in the “Save Minnehaha Dog Park” Facebook group called the remarks “not exactly helpful or showing respect for constituents.” Even people sympathetic to the dog park closure found the language indefensible. The debate over sacred Indigenous land is real and worth having — but suggesting dogs urinate on graves sorted by race and faith is not a policy argument. It is raw hatred dressed up as activism. Elected officials who traffic in this kind of language should face real consequences, not institutional awards. [1]
