Laura Morris, a former fifth-grade teacher at Lucketts Elementary School in Leesburg, Virginia, left her position due to her refusal to teach critical race theory (CRT).
During a Loudoun County School Board meeting, Morris emotionally expressed her opposition to the board’s “highly-politicized agendas” and resigned. She criticized the equity training and curriculum changes related to CRT, which explores how racism is embedded in societal structures.
Morris explained, “I quit being a cog in a machine that tells me to push highly-politicized agendas on our most vulnerable constituents – the children.” She shared that her Christian beliefs clashed with the district’s ideologies.
She also raised concerns about her personal life being affected by the school district’s political agenda. Morris received emails cautioning against dissenting opinions even in her personal life.
Frustrated by the lack of consideration for concerned citizens and what she perceived as the district’s bias against certain demographics, Morris chose to resign.
In her passionate speech, Morris encouraged parents and staff to explore alternative educational options.
My Date Brought Her Sassy Mom on Our First Date and She Started Interrogating Me — I Decided to Outplay Them
When Ronny meets Denise for their first date, he’s surprised to find her mother, Claire, tagging along. Over dinner, Claire bombards him with intrusive questions, making it clear they expect him to bankroll their lavish lifestyle. Sensing their gold-digging motives, Ronny decides to play along. He pretends to be wealthy, even suggesting buying Claire a house. Their excitement peaks until he mentions needing approval from his “other wives.” Shocked, they realize they’ve been tricked. When the bill arrives, Ronny tells them they can pay to prove their independence and walks away, leaving them flustered and embarrassed.
After Ronny walked out of the restaurant, leaving Denise and Claire to deal with the bill, they scrambled to pay, embarrassed and flustered. Denise, once excited about Ronny’s apparent wealth, now felt humiliated by the revelation of his prank. Claire, who had been eagerly envisioning a luxurious future, was furious that her plans had crumbled.
As they left the restaurant, Claire scolded Denise for not spotting Ronny’s trick earlier, while Denise felt conflicted—both embarrassed and angry. She had hoped for something real with Ronny, but her mom’s pressure and greed had led to this disaster.
Meanwhile, Ronny drove home, chuckling at how he turned the situation around. It wasn’t just about getting out of an awkward date; it was a lesson in spotting manipulation and not letting others take advantage of him. He felt a sense of satisfaction, knowing he’d dodged a bullet, and carried with him a story to tell for years to come.
Denise never reached out again, and Ronny moved on, more cautious yet confident in future dates.
