Founder of the Black Lives Matter Motion Cell (BLM) in the US state of Minnesota Rashad Turner criticized the organization, opening it “ugly truth” in the video on YouTube Channel TakeCharge Minnesota.
Turner, who founded a local cell in 2015, critically spoke on the BLM position in relation to family and education. He noted that after he spent the year inside the movement, I realized that in reality, its participants take little care about the support of families black.
Even less, according to a man, they took care of improving the quality of education for students in the state. This, according to Turner, it became clear when, together with the teacher’s trade union, the movement publicly condemned charter schools (receiving government officials, but working independently of the state school system). “I learned the ugly truth – a moratorium on charter schools does not support black family. It creates obstacles to improving education for black children,” he concluded.
The Black Lives Matter movement (“Black Life is important”) appeared in 2013, and in 2020 it became worldwide on the background of high-profile protests in the United States after the murder of the African American police officers George Floyd.
