Leftist Local VA School Board SHUTS DOWN Dissent Over Critical Race Theory, Trans In Bathrooms - AND The MRC Was There
 

Local Loudoun, Virginia, residents who have become national heroes turned out in the hundreds on June 22 to oppose the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) Board plan to adopt Critical Race Theory and perverse sexual “identity” rules in schools across Loudoun County, Virginia, and the Media Research Center (MRC) was on the scene.

As MRC Action members likely are aware, both CNS News and MRCTV have focused time and manpower to bring tell the nation about the plight of Loudoun County taxpayers, children, and numerous teachers, as the LCPS board prepared plans to force racist Critical Race Theory ideology into classrooms and as it prepped its scheme called “Policy 8040.”

Policy 8040 would require schools to admit “trans” students into any bathroom or locker room, and would ban “gendered speech” — i.e. pronouns that conform to the correct biological sex of the individual being addressed — in all district schools.

On Tuesday, June 22, the board abruptly ended the public comment period, even as taxpayers lined up to add their voices to the scant number that the bureaucrats allowed to speak. Tuesday also saw Sheriff’s Department police ARREST individuals who tried to be heard while the board members walked off.

But Tuesday saw the courage that is lighting fires nationwide — fires that could help others stop Marxist Critical Race Theory and Trans-permissive bathroom, locker room, and speech policies from being imposed on them, other taxpayers, and kids.

The monumental moment saw the return of Eighth Grader (now homeschooled) Jolene Grover, who, as MRCTV’s Veronica Hays reports, stood before the board and let them know how insane the “non-gendered pronouns” idea truly is:

“Dressed again in her trademark green tee that read ‘Woman is female’ across the top, she confidently approached the podium to reinforce her previously mentioned concerns before the LCPS School Board. Grover began with a simple yet poignant statement: ‘If I get knocked unconscious, I don’t just stop being a girl because you don’t know what my preferred pronouns are.’”

Precisely right. Likewise, perhaps someone can ask these political functionaries — and anyone else who pushes the incorrect use of pronouns to pretend a man is a woman and a woman is a man — what happens in the future when governments issue Amber Alerts for missing kids?

Will those alerts use “THEY” for one missing child? Will the alerts specify the correct sexual biology of the missing child so that people might readily recognize the child, leading to rescue? Or... will the government be completely incomprehensible during a moment when specificity is essential?

MRCTV’s Libby Kreiger Tuesday also reported on the meeting, revealing how these bureaucrats — formerly insulated from public outcries by COVID-related lockouts of the public — shut down dissent, and police cuffed and arrested citizens who tried to voice their protestations, claiming they were engaging in “unlawful assembly.” Which is curious, since the First Amendment prohibits the government from infringing on the right to peaceably assemble for redress of grievances…

Clearly, the leftist Loudoun way is not the American way.

Only OUTSIDE the public building were people able to voice their opinions about the authoritarian Loudoun school leftists, and MRCTV’s Abby Streetman got out word to the rest of America, offering, in part:

“The individuals advocating against Critical Race Theory and allowing children to pick their genders had American flags set up around their tents and played the National Anthem while waiting for the meeting to begin. They also invited speakers including Fairfax county lawyer Cathy Ruse, the executive director of Fight for Our Schools, Ian Prior, and co-founder of The Radiance Foundation, Ryan Bomberger.”

According to WJLA Television, the LCPS Board is going to meet again on August 10. Meanwhile, heroic Loudoun resident, and teacher in Fairfax County, Lilit Vanetsyan, continues to work on removing the LCPS board members pushing this leftist orthodoxy and shutting down dissent.

This story is receiving far less national news attention than it is from conservative and libertarian talk radio hosts and web commentators, and MRC Action and the Media Research Center will follow this, thanks to YOU.

Your care about freedom and the generations to come are the fuel for our never-ending efforts.

Thank you for being part of this growing American phenomenon. We will be there, and appreciate you being there to back us!
