Fox News
A group of around 40 Loudoun County, Virginia, residents organized and held their own meeting to protest the local school board limiting attendance and speaking time before the public panel.
"We will not be silenced," Jessica Mendez, a Loudoun County mother of two elementary students, told Fox News. A Loudoun County High School AP government teacher, Monica Gill, said in a speech: "I stand against [Loudon County Public Schools’] equity policy and initiative because they are critical race theory in disguise." The school board will not include a public viewing area open during the public comment portion of its Aug. 10 meeting, LCPS announced Aug. 3. Additionally, only 10 speakers will be admitted in the building at a time, and each would be limited to two minutes. More than 150 speakers had pre-registered as of Tuesday afternoon.More Related News
