An official school board vote on the proposal is not expected until at least Aug. 10. But it has become a hot-button issue in the district, where 259 residents signed up to speak during the public comment session Tuesday and people lined up at the doors early to get seats in the packed auditorium.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News reported that the tensions escalated when an anti-Christian bigot took a swipe at Christians in the room by saying that \u201chate\u201d was \u201cdripping from the followers of Jesus in this room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Controversial board chair Brenda Sheridan said that members voted unanimously to end public comment if the room became too excitable again.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p><em>Multiple parents asked the district to drop its appeal of a court order to reinstate teacher Tanner Cross, who was suspended after speaking out publicly against the proposal. They argued that fighting the judge is a waste of taxpayers\u2019 money and doomed to fail. Another woman urged several board members, facing a recall effort, to resign and save taxpayers even more money. Others blasted a district official who allegedly made threatening Internet searches on a district smartphone.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Then former state Sen. Dick Black shredded the school board in a passionate speech about their treatment of Tanner Cross and allegations that the far-left school board had organized a list targeting opponents of Critical Race Theory.<\/p>\n<p>Black said:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p><em>I\u2019m retired Senator Dick Black of Ashburn, Virginia. You retaliated against Tanner Cross by yanking him from teaching for addressing a public hearing of this board. The judge ordered you to reinstate Mr. Cross, because if his comments were not protected speech, then free speech does not exist at all. It\u2019s absurd and immoral for teachers to call boys \u2018girls\u2019 and girls \u2018boys\u2019. You\u2019re making teachers lie to students. And even kids know that it\u2019s wrong. This board has a dark history of suppressing free speech. They caught you red handed with an enemies list to punish opponents of Critical Race Theory. You\u2019re teaching children to hate others because of their skin color. And you\u2019re forcing them to lie about other kids\u2019 gender.
