Protesting teacher chains herself to courthouse fence during Derek Chauvin trial in Minneapolis

R&I – FS

Local high school teacher Kaia Hirt has chained herself to a metal fence outside the Hennepin County Government Center in a protest pushing for police reform as the Derek Chauvin murder trial proceeds inside.

Hirt, who teaches 10th grade English at Champlin Park High School, said she was demonstrating to show her support for families of those who have been killed by police. She wants local politicians to do more to support police reform legislation.
