Sobbing teacher breaks down and quits over Critical Race Theory lessons in school board meeting




In a shocking turn of events, this Virginia teacher made a statement by resigning during a tumultuous school board meeting, where the spotlight had been on the controversial issue of Critical Race Theory.

Laura Morris, an educator at Lucketts Elementary School in Leesburg, Virginia, addressed the Loudoun County School Board with heartfelt emotion, detailing the factors that forced her to step away from her teaching role.

Her resignation was a reaction to what she described as an unreasonable emphasis on “equity trainings” and political doctrines within the school district, saying that she could no longer align with an organization that wanted to restrain “white, Christian, able-bodied females.”

Morris, who had been a teacher in the district for five years of her career, said that she had become fed up with a system that she felt was pushing politicized agendas onto its most vulnerable members — its children. Her speech highlighted this conflict between her own beliefs and the district’s policies.

The issue comes amid the ongoing debate surrounding the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT), with Loudoun County serving as a focal point for these discussions. School board meetings have become tense and polarized, often marked by heated exchanges and even arrests, as parents express opposition to what they believe is divisive and unpatriotic approaches.

Though, some people argue that CRT is important to learn as it provides a more comprehensive understanding of America’s complex racial history by reframing traditional narratives.
Interestingly enough, this school board has not been a stranger to controversy in recent times. In fact, on May 25, physical education teacher Byron ‘Tanner’ Cross was suspended for his refusal to “affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa.”

Cross, who had been worked at Leesburg Elementary School for eight years, said that his Christian faith was the reason why he refused to use preferred pronouns, though he did say he would be willing to use the students’ chosen names. After a court ordered his reinstatement on June 8, the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) announced their intention to appeal the decision.

Most recently, the school board had discussions about whether transgender children should be granted access to sex-specific facilities and school activities aligned with their gender identities. The debate became so divisive that the vote had to be postponed until the following day.
