At a school board meeting, a teacher sobs and quits because of lessons on critical race theory.

The shocking thing is that this Virginia teacher made a statement when she quit during a tense school board meeting where Critical Race Theory was the main topic of discussion.
An educator at Lucketts Elementary School in Leesburg, Virginia, named Laura Morris spoke to the Loudoun County School Board with deep feeling, explaining the reasons why she had to quit her job.
She quit because of what she thought was an unfair focus on “equity trainings” and political ideas in the school district. She said she could no longer support a group that wanted to limit “white, Christian, able-bodied females.”
Morris had been a teacher in the district for five years and said she was tired of a system that she thought was forcing political goals on the children who were the weakest part of it. Her speech drew attention to this clash between her views and the rules of the school district.

This problem comes up at a time when there is a lot of talk about teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT), and Loudoun County is at the center of these debates. Parents who are against what they see as divisive and unpatriotic methods to school board meetings have made them tense and polarized. There are often heated arguments and even arrests.
However, some say that learning CRT is important because it helps you understand America’s complicated racial past by changing the way traditional stories are told.
In an interesting twist, this school board has had its fair share of problems lately. In fact, Byron “Tanner” Cross, a physical education teacher, was fired on May 25 because he wouldn’t “affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa.”

Cross, who had worked at Leesburg Elementary School for eight years, said that he wouldn’t use preferred pronouns because he was a Christian. He did say that he would use the kids’ chosen names, though. After a judge ordered his reinstatement on June 8, Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) said they would be appealing the ruling.
The school board recently talked about whether transgender kids should be able to use sex-specific facilities and take part in school events that match their gender identities. The conversation got so heated that the vote had to be put off until the next day.
