\nLaura Morris spoke before Loudoun County School Board in an emotional address, explaining why the \u2018equity trainings\u2019 and political dogma forced her to resign.\n
She said she could no longer be part of an organization that told her \u2018white, Christian, able-bodied females\u2019 needed to be reined in.\n
Morris, who has taught at Lucketts Elementary School in Leesburg, Virginia, for five years \u2013 half of her career \u2013 told the board: \u2018I quit being a cog in a machine that tells me to push highly-politicized agendas on our most vulnerable constituents \u2013 the children.\u2019\n
Her voice breaking with emotion, she said she no longer felt able to teach within the district, despite it being affluent and well-resourced.\n
\u2018This summer I have struggled with the idea of returning to school, knowing that I\u2019ll be working yet again with a school division that, despite its shiny tech and flashy salary, promotes political ideologies that do not square with who I am as a believer in Christ,\u2019 she said.\n
Morris said that she was dismayed by the \u2018lack of consideration for the growing population of concerned citizens in this division\u2019, pointing out that Tuesday\u2019s meeting was in an empty hall.\n
Loudoun recently adopted rules for the public comment section of board meetings that prohibit a general audience and allow only 10 scheduled speakers to enter the building at a time.\n
She said she was angered by \u2019emails sent by the superintendent last year reminding me that a dissenting opinion is not allowed, even to be spoken in my personal life.\u2019\n
