Courageous Teacher BLASTS Notorious Loudon County School Board Over Trans and CRT Policies. Then She Refuses to Play Along.

fifth-grade teacher went before the notorious Loudon County school board on Tuesday night to denounce proposed transgender policies and other “equity” issues such as Critical Race Theory (CRT), and did something unexpected: she quit.

The Loudon County, Virginia school board meetings have become notorious not because angry parents have shown up in droves to forcefully denounce the racially divisive and discriminatory CRT “equity” agenda. No, they’re not notorious because the school board cut off a public viewing area to spite parents. They’re notorious because the board is like that toddler who believes that if he juts out an arm, turns his head, and closes his eyes he doesn’t have to listen to you.

Morris pointed to materials sent to all teachers stating that Christian, white women were overly represented in the teacher corps in Loudon County and “this has to change.”

“Within the last year, I was in one of my so-called equity trainings that White, Christian, able-bodied females currently have the power in our schools and ‘this has to change,’” teacher Laura Morris said during the public comment period of the board meeting.

“Clearly, you’ve made your point. You no longer value me or many other teachers you’ve 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.”

And so she did.

“School board, I quit. I quit your policies, 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,” she said. “I will find employment elsewhere.”

Watched that and several parents taking the board to task from Tucker's show from yesterday. I actually got choked up watching this young lady and the parents. Sad thing to but the school board looked as if they couldn't even give a crap. Sad dang days.

A similar thing happened in Willimason County Tennessee. Hundreds of parents showed up to protest a mask mandate yet the school board ignored them and instituted one anyway. I would send my child to school without a mask and dare the teachers to try to coerce them into wearing one.

Is quitting really the best policy? Isn’t that what Sarah Palin did?

Stay, fight and sue if you are discriminated against.

Yeah, sad.

I have spent a 40 year career evaluating data, facts and conditions to determine trends and make decisions.

I try not to lose hope but the trend direction for us is down. We are a legalistic but lawless amoral nation and they are winning.

The young woman’s mistake is not making the screwl board maggots fire her then suing the living hell out of them.

Critical Race Theory is an attempt to keep racial strive active. Did not anybody learn from the 8 years of Obama?

This has to happen in massive quantities and really soon. No more waiting for politicians to do something because they are responsible for all of this.

Rand Paul was right. Time to rebel. This lady was a brave American.

This young woman did the right thing. You win this war by picking up your ball and leaving these people with no batters. Shame others didn’t join her.

She got it correct in the cut-and-paste quote portion.

Teacher Laura Morris has her head on straight, even in the midst of a pack of brain dead Zombies.

She has shown herself an American heroine and a role model for saying “no” to the disgusting falsehoods and antii-human behavior the Board is pushing.

The members of the Loudon County (Virginia) Board of Education who vote with lies and perversity deserve their permanent place in infamy. They are enemies.

“i don’t think picking up your ball and going home is the best idea.”

Neither is going along to get along if it requires going against Christian tenets.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
