EXCERPT:

TURNER: “I was an insider in Black Lives Matter and I learned ugly truth. The moratorium on charter schools does not support rebuilding the black family, but it does create barriers to a better education for black children. I resigned from Black Lives Matter after year and a half, but I didn’t quit working to improve black lives and access to a great education. Today, I serve as the President and Executive Director of Minnesota Parent Union. We’re dedicated to helping parents moved their children from failing schools to successful schools. It's hard work and we’re up against forces that don’t want us to succeed. But success is possible. Just look at me and the hundreds of children and families we've helped to pursue a great education, break the chains of poverty and lead the life of success.”
