Parent Rips Loudoun School Board: Your Ideology Is "Pure Garbage," My Kids Pronouns Are King and Queen

Apparently YouTube is blocking at these videos now, as this cannot be found there. YouTube (Owned by Google) is clearly not an agent of transparency or the truth. In fact, they are opponents of transparency and the truth.

This guy is enraged. You can hear it in his voice and in his words. There are many millions more who feel the same way. It is time to retaliate against these people, and it is good to see this gentleman taking the initiative to start the process towards doing that.
outstanding.

it boggles my mind how the school board cretins could possibly listen to this and STILL think their CRT crap is great and necessary.

Well, good riddance! If she wants a job where she can push her religious beliefs, then she should get a job at a parochial school. Her leaving is good for everyone, including her.
Who ever said she was pushing her beliefs!?!

Oh yeah, you.

There's a lot of parental objection to what's being pushed by the school board in Loudon County. Do they represent a majority? Don't know how it is there, but here the school board is elected. If they are elected there, how in the world did they ever win an election? They seem to be, to a person, left-wing nuts.

Earlier this year the state passed a bill that requires equity for students who identify as a gender different than their biology. It’s the whole deal, bathrooms,locker rooms and sports. It does not leave wiggle room for school boards.

According to this teacher it does not square with her views as a believer in Christ and she resigned.

I respect her decision to leave instead of turning this into the spectacle Kimberly Davies did in 2015 in Kentucky when she refused to issue marriage licenses to couples of the same sex.

If their school board elections are anything like ours, the liberal candidates know how to couch their views in innocuous sounding phrases during the campaign. They use nice-sounding words and phrases like "equity" and "inclusion" and "closing the achievement gap" and "restorative justice." (Hint: if you believe in the principles of basic fairness and color-blind justice, vote against anyone who uses any of those terms.) It helps that a lot of people simply do not pay attention to the candidates and just vote for the first five names, or whichever one had the most yard signs out, or whatever.

At least the Loudoun County school board has been very open about what they're trying to do, and have received a very public backlash. No one in that county has the excuse of not knowing their views. We will find out if the voters of that county support what they're doing when the next election comes around.

Hope someone starts a gofundme page for her, now that she is unemployed. What is going on in schools is BS.

Where did she say she was going to push her religion? She expressed her beliefs to the board. Not students.

For some, fervent SJW activities is their religion. Are you okay with teachers pushing those views?

Have you been asleep with regards to what's going on with this insane school board? The threats, doxing parents who don't toe the party line, discussing board business off line etc or is that okay with you?

You really need to catch up if you want to play here.

When is that, by the way?
