Former Black Lives Matter Leader Says Movement Is ‘on the Wrong Side of History’- Good Read
When he joined Black Lives Matter, Turner thought he had found his calling. A criminal justice major at Hamline University, it felt like a perfect fit. But in a turn of events, just days after that controversial protest, Turner, 31, abruptly stepped away from the movement.
The reason? Turner said he caught wind that Black Lives Matter national was calling for a moratorium on charter schools. The platform was released earlier in the summer, but at the time, Turner said he “wasn’t aware of Black Lives Matter’s quietly dished out vision.”
“When I heard,” he said, “I decided to run as fast as I could the other way.”
Sooner or later, everyone has to know where their line has been drawn. If you don't draw one with this movement, then it will be the anarchy it has and will continue to become.
