Teacher confronts Loudoun County school board's apparent progressive agenda in fiery speech: 'This isn't over'
"Students, it is up to you to be the next generation of victims, or victors," said Virginia teacher
Lilit Vanetsyan, a teacher in Fairfax County, Virginia, confronted school board officials in neighboring Loudoun County on Tuesday to push back against what she described as radical lesson plans that will teach kids to "root for socialism by the time they get to middle school."
"Parents, the longer that you wait and don't have your child's schools accountable, gives these guys more time to dictate what's best for your child's physical, mental, and emotional health," she said, pointing to the board as she spoke from the podium at Tuesday's school board meeting.
She joins a growing number of parents and educators who are speaking out against the controversial critical race theory, which opponents argue is a divisive curriculum that teaches adolescents to judge one another by the color of their skin.
"Students, you are on the front lines of these indoctrination camps. Challenge the staff when you are presented with a ludicrous statement, and do not allow anybody to tell you that you cannot accomplish anything because of your skin color, or to hate yourself because of your skin color," Vanetsyan intoned. "Students, it is up to you to be the next generation of victims, or victors."
Vanetsyan's final message was for the school board: "And finally, to the board, this isn't over. And your policies as just as -" she's heard saying before her mic cut out.
Social media users gave her rave reviews.
"Share this everywhere. Every parent, teacher and student should hear it," conservative comedian Tim Young tweeted.
"The sound of courage challenges the poison of cowardice," agreed Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Scott Jensen.
