I wish she would not have quit and instead forced them to fire her for not going along with their institutionalized racism and bigotry, but this was a very powerful statement.

Here's the whole public comment period. This is liberal suburban D.C. in Virginia, and the vast majority of the parents spoke out against the whole woke agenda being pushed on their kids.

This video shows the speakers. The teacher who quits is spooled up on the video, I think.

I lived back there for 17 years. Loudoun was a "red" bastion the whole time, but I believe the population became lazy when it came to elections, etc. I'm hoping this will wake them up to the threat of not participating.

It sounds like they cut her mic. “Flood the public schools....” with what?

All for naught. The wrong side won. School board passed the policy last evening. The arrogance of these school boards is hard to comprehend. They must know there are more people in the county who support them than not. Given it’s Louden, that’s probably true.

Why aren't the citizens demanding recalls of the school board members?

All the people who didn't show up to complain? They support having the schools abuse and indoctrinate their kids, and that's the majority of voters in that district.

That takes effort. It's far easier to whine on the internet.
