Moment sobbing Loudoun County teacher quits in protest over CRT lessons

2021-08-12

More Loudoun County School Board nonsense can be seen here.

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Laura Morris was a fifth grade teacher at Lucketts Elementary School in Leesburg, Virginia

On Tuesday night she quit in front of Loudoun County School Board in a tearful protest at their policies

She accused the school board of forcing her 'to push highly-politicized agendas on our most vulnerable constituents – the children'

Morris also spoke out against forms which she said teachers were encouraged to fill in, reporting their colleagues if they criticized the teaching program

Loudoun County is at the forefront of the culture wars sweeping U.S. schools

#7 When I was in grade school, it was assumed any male teacher was ghey. The females were either hawt or disgusting.

#6 By putting their focus on targeting White women, the Left confirms that they were 100% successful in getting all (but mostly White) men purged from public schools, while their female counterparts stood by silently and let it happen because they were too busy getting their "you go girl, rah-rah" dopamine fix being fed to them by the media and the unions. Now the crosshairs are on them and suddenly it's a crisis. Too little too late. The publics school system is irrevocably broken.

#5 Saint FDR (8/16/1937) -

"All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management. The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations. The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress. Accordingly, administrative officials and employees alike are governed and guided, and in many instances restricted, by laws which establish policies, procedures, or rules in personnel matters.

Particularly, I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have no place in the functions of any organization of Government employees. Upon employees in the Federal service rests the obligation to serve the whole people, whose interests and welfare require orderliness and continuity in the conduct of Government activities. This obligation is paramount. Since their own services have to do with the functioning of the Government, a strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of Government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and intolerable. It is, therefore, with a feeling of gratification that I have noted in the constitution of the National Federation of Federal Employees the provision that "under no circumstances shall this Federation engage in or support strikes against the United States Government."

He was talking about Federal Employees, to be clear, but the same could be said for all public trough employees.

#4 Making education a state activity gets you the same thing making municipal sanitation a gummint activity does. Piles of stinking garbage overdue to be picked up. Outlaw public schools. sell the property. Outlaw teachers' unions. Make anyone with a union card go through an arduous re-education camp to even be eligible for rejection from teaching in the future.

#3 I went two two private schools growing up. One was staffed by serious pedagogues who had no time for any politics. The other had some great teachers and some apparatchiks Stalin would have loved right up until he had them shot...

#2 I think Oregon has demonstrated the need for public education doesn't exist by basically ending proficiency in reading, writing, and arithmetic requirements. Time to kick back vouchers to parents (who give a damn) to shop a market of providers.
