Return of Chris Stewart and His Call of Racism
People of Minneapolis, parents of Minneapolis school kids, and Twin Cities folks...
...didn't we say something like this would happen?
We know the "I told you so" claim is a little snarky and a bit snide, so we'll leave that aside for now.
Aw, damn. Can't... resist... urge!
We told you so.
We won't rub noses in it, though.
Recently, Chris Stewart threw his name back into the public by calling yet another person a racist. That's hardly news... based on our experience and his own writings, he apparently calls people racists all the time.
According to Kip Wennerlund, the co-chairman of the Burroughs Site Council (a group of teachers, parents, and administrators), he spoke with parents of school children who say they witnessed Minneapolis School Board Member Chris Stewart (known online previously as Rahelio Soleil) call principal Tim Cadotte a racist. It is it Mr. Wennerlund's understanding (again, based on discussions with parents) that Stewart said Burroughs is a racist school and that the Bourroughs Site Council's statement is evidence of racism.
The principal was put on indefinite administrative leave. Do we know why? Not yet. Was it from Stewart's claims of racism? We don't know. What makes Chris Stewart claim the Principal Cadotte is a racist? We don't know... but considering the claim came from Chris Stewart, he probably isn't.
When asked by reporters, Chris Stewart (again, just search online for Rahelio Soleil) dodged the question saying he didn't want to get into details of his visit Burroughs.
So, if Kip Wennerlund's story is correct, if he received the correct information from parents
