Laura Morris, a former fifth-grade teacher at Lucketts Elementary School in Leesburg, Virginia, left her position due to her refusal to teach critical race theory (CRT).
During a Loudoun County School Board meeting, Morris emotionally expressed her opposition to the board’s “highly-politicized agendas” and resigned. She criticized the equity training and curriculum changes related to CRT, which explores how racism is embedded in societal structures.
Morris explained, “I quit being a cog in a machine that tells me to push highly-politicized agendas on our most vulnerable constituents – the children.” She shared that her Christian beliefs clashed with the district’s ideologies.
She also raised concerns about her personal life being affected by the school district’s political agenda. Morris received emails cautioning against dissenting opinions even in her personal life.
Frustrated by the lack of consideration for concerned citizens and what she perceived as the district’s bias against certain demographics, Morris chose to resign.
In her passionate speech, Morris encouraged parents and staff to explore alternative educational options.
Firefighters rescued 8 puppies from the sewer, but it turned out that they were not puppies at all
When firefighter Brian Vaughan and his crew were notified of the accident, they immediately went to work.
As they informed firefighters, it was about eight small dogs that got stuck in the sewer.
Of course the firefighters did their job well.
They saved eight little puppies, or so they thought.
When the vet examined these unfortunate cubs, they realized they weren’t dogs.
They were fox cubs.
