A Loudoun County teacher made a bold statement during a recent school board meeting, resigning dramatically while criticizing the district’s focus on Critical Race Theory.

Laura Morris, a teacher at Lucketts Elementary School, addressed the board passionately, expressing her reasons for resigning due to what she described as the school’s obsession with ‘equity trainings’ and political agendas.

In her emotional speech, Morris voiced her discomfort with the district’s approach, stating that she could no longer support an organization that promotes ideologies that conflict with her beliefs as a Christian.

She emphasized feeling unable to teach within the district despite its resources and affluent status.

While Loudoun County declined to comment on Morris’s resignation, the district has been at the center of debates surrounding the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in schools.

CRT has sparked contentious discussions among parents and educators, with some criticizing it as divisive and unpatriotic, while others argue it provides a necessary reexamination of America’s racial history.

In summary, Morris’s resignation underscores the ongoing debate over CRT and other contentious issues in education.

Her decision to step down reflects broader tensions within the education system and highlights the challenges of balancing diverse perspectives and beliefs in public schools.
