A St. Paul, Minnesota, school board clerk who co-founded Black Lives Matter Twin Cities now faces federal felony charges for her alleged role in storming a church during anti-ICE protests, and her social media trail suggests the incident was no aberration. Chauntyll Allen, who serves as clerk of the Saint Paul Public Schools Board of Education, posted online that dog parks should be placed at "White Christian cemeteries" so dogs could, in her words, "p*** on the white corpses."
The post and the federal arrest together paint a picture of an elected education official whose public conduct would disqualify her from any position of trust in a functioning institution. Yet as of Saturday afternoon, Allen remained listed on the school board's website.
That she still holds the title tells you everything about who runs public education in Minnesota's capital city, and what they're willing to tolerate.
The social media post, first reported by Alpha News on Friday, came in response to a Minneapolis plan to close a dog park in order to protect land described by city officials as "sacred." Allen's proposed alternative was blunt.
"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 indigenous land sacred and p*** on the white corpses."
Read that again. A sitting school board clerk, someone entrusted with the education of children, called for the desecration of Christian graves, sorted by race. She capitalized "White" as a target category. She treated the violation of burial sites as a punchline.
The post circulated widely after it was shared on the Libs of TikTok account on X. Allen has not publicly responded to the backlash, nor has the Saint Paul Public Schools Board of Education announced any action regarding her status.
Allen's social media hostility toward Christians did not emerge in a vacuum. Federal authorities arrested her alongside activist Nekima Levy Armstrong on charges of conspiracy to deprive rights, a federal felony, linked to an incident in January when protesters stormed Cities Church in St. Paul while congregants were worshipping.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced the charges and shared video of Allen after she was taken into custody. DHS said Allen was charged with conspiracy to deprive rights, though the specific federal statute was not detailed in available reporting.
During the church invasion, protesters entered the building during a worship service as part of anti-ICE demonstrations. One protester was heard telling a man at the scene: "Your pastor's an ICE agent. Come join the black church. That's where you belong."
The charge, conspiracy to deprive rights, carries serious weight. It is the kind of federal felony historically used to prosecute organized interference with constitutionally protected activity. Worshipping in a church on a Sunday morning qualifies.
The arrest also raised questions about the political circles in which Allen and Armstrong move. On January 30, Rep. Ilhan Omar shared photos on social media of a meeting with community leaders that included both Allen and Armstrong. The nature of the meeting was not described in detail, but the timing, shortly after the church invasion, drew scrutiny.
Omar has not publicly commented on the arrests. The overlap between elected officials and individuals now facing federal felony charges is the kind of association that, in a healthy political culture, would prompt hard questions from reporters and colleagues alike. Whether those questions come remains to be seen.
The pattern of ideological radicalism spreading through progressive political networks is not confined to Minnesota. Sen. John Fetterman recently warned of a "small Communist takeover" in another state's Democratic politics, a sign that even some on the left recognize the problem.
Minnesota State Rep. Elliott Engen, a Republican from Lino Lakes, did not mince words about what should happen next. He told Fox News that Allen should be removed from any role involving children.
"Convicted, prosecuted, taken off the school board, never allowed within 500 yards of a school again. That'd be what sane societies do."
Engen placed Allen's conduct in a broader context. He described most Twin Cities school boards as having become "activist boards" and pointed to what he sees as a pattern of ideological mandates flowing through the Minnesota Department of Education.
"It's LGBTQ [and] that sort of thing, and activism through the [Minnesota Department of Education]. So much so that, you know, even in our state curriculum standards now we have comprehensive sex education, which is mandated from third and 12th grade. You have ethnic studies, which is the equivalent of [critical race theory], which is mandated in K-3 and above. You have queer theory and queer studies, which are now being mandated in high school. It is a constant push towards more ideological persuasions and activism."
Whether or not one agrees with every item on Engen's list, the broader point is hard to dismiss. When a BLM co-founder who publicly calls for desecrating Christian graves and faces federal charges for invading a church during worship can remain listed as a school board clerk without apparent consequence, the institution has a credibility problem that extends well beyond one person.
The Saint Paul Public Schools Board of Education has not publicly addressed Allen's arrest or her social media post. As of Saturday afternoon, her name still appeared on the board's website as clerk. No statement of suspension, leave, or review has surfaced.
That silence is itself a statement. School boards exist to serve families and protect children. Parents who send their kids into the St. Paul system are entitled to know whether the board considers anti-Christian bigotry and federal felony charges disqualifying, or just another weekend.
The specific details of Allen's alleged conduct during the church invasion remain unclear. Federal charging documents have not been publicly detailed beyond the conspiracy charge. What Allen personally did inside Cities Church, and whether additional charges may follow, are open questions that the legal process will eventually answer.
Armstrong's precise charges are also not fully described in available reporting, though she was arrested alongside Allen and faces federal felony charges linked to the same incident.
Here is what is not in dispute. A sitting school board clerk in a major American city publicly suggested turning Christian cemeteries into dog parks so animals could urinate on the dead. That same clerk co-founded a BLM chapter. That same clerk was arrested by federal authorities for her alleged role in a mob that entered a church during worship. That same clerk was photographed with a sitting member of Congress days after the church incident.
And that same clerk, as of the most recent check, still holds her position.
No institution that tolerates this deserves the trust of a single parent. If the Saint Paul school board cannot bring itself to act, voters and state officials should do it for them. Accountability is not optional, and the people who suffer most when it disappears are the children these boards claim to serve.
