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.
Martha Stewart Claps Back at Ageist Haters with Perfect Response!
Martha Stewart, the famous businesswoman known for her cooking and home decor skills, is in the spotlight again.
This time, it’s not about a new recipe or DIY project.
At 82 years old, Stewart is challenging ageist stereotypes and expressing her unique style, especially with her fashion choices.
Recently, at the Fashion Group International Night of Stars gala in New York City, Stewart was asked about how she dresses at her age. When questioned about “dressing for one’s age,” she effortlessly dismissed the idea, replying (via Huffington Post), “Dressing for whose age?”
Stewart’s rejection of age-related fashion rules is empowering for all women. She boldly says she doesn’t consider age when choosing her outfits: “I don’t think about age. I think people are more and more fabulous than they’ve ever been in their senior years, and I applaud every one of them,” according to Page Six.
Her confidence shines through as she proudly states, “I’ve dressed the same since I was 17.”
Beyond her red carpet appearances, Stewart has been turning heads on social media with her daring fashion choices. From poolside photos to becoming the oldest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model, Stewart fearlessly embraces her sensuality and self-expression.
In a candid interview, Stewart expressed her delight at being recognized as a sex symbol at her age, viewing it as an opportunity to inspire others. “I’m a teacher,” she declared, as per Huffington Post. “I’m trying to teach others that you can look great. There’s no reason to slump around.”
When asked about her future plans for posting “thirst traps” on social media, Stewart maintained her trademark wit and spontaneity. Whether joking about capturing a snapshot with a polar bear in Greenland or simply leaving it to fate, Stewart’s playful attitude towards life is both endearing and inspiring.
Stewart’s refusal to conform to ageist stereotypes should inspire us all to realize that self-expression knows no age limits!
