AGENDAS.
A Loudoun County, Virginia, teacher abruptly quit her job during a school board meeting after she railed against the teaching of critical race theory in public school classrooms.
A report from WUSA-TV detailed the tense environment at Tuesday night's school board meeting, noting that more than 150 people were scheduled to speak in person about "transgender policy, [the] new in-school mask mandate, vaccines, virtual learning, and critical race theory."
What are the details?
Laura Morris, a former fifth-grade teacher at Lucketts Elementary School in Leesburg, Virginia, quit in front of the Loudoun County School Board as she tearfully protested against controversial policies including CRT, transgender locker rooms, and more.
Sobbing, Morris said, "School board, I quit! I quit your politics. I quit your trainings and I quit being a cog in a machine that tells me to push highly politicized agendas on our most vulnerable constituents — the children. I will find employment elsewhere. I encourage all parents and staff in this country to flood the private schools."
According to the Daily Mail, Morris also slammed the school board's fixation on CRT lessons in schools.
"This summer I have struggled with the idea of returning to school, knowing that I'll be working yet again with a school division that, despite its shiny tech and flashy salary, promotes political ideologies that do not square with who I am as a believer in Christ," she added.
She also added that she was previously told during "so-called equity trainings that white, Christian, able-bodied females currently have the power in our schools and, quote, 'This has to change.'"
"Clearly, you have made your point," Morris added. "You no longer value me or many other teachers you have employed in this county. So since my contract outlines the power that you have over my employment in Loudoun County Public Schools, I thought it necessary to resign in front of you. Blaze.
