The parents \u201cargued 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Things began to escalate when one member of the school board attacked Christians in the room, directly, sneering that \u201chate\u201d was \u201cdripping from the followers of Jesus in this room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former Virginia state senator Dick Black then stepped up to the podium to address the board\u2019s treatment of Cross directly, shredding the board\u2019s decision to target Cross and, allegedly, parents with children in Loudoun County schools who are vocally opposed to the board mandating that Critical Race Theory be taught to Loudoun County students.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"9.6695652173913\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Loudoun County School Board got wrecked so hard by former Virginia State senator <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenRichardBlack?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenRichardBlack<\/a> that they had to shut down their public hearing. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re teaching children to hate others because of their skin color\u2026 I\u2019m disgusted by your bigotry.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CRTisRACIST?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CRTisRACIST<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sgdiqW4WqJ\">pic.twitter.com\/sgdiqW4WqJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 For America (@ForAmerica) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ForAmerica\/status\/1407487997180878848?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m retired Senator Dick Black of Ashburn, Virginia,\u201d Black began.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou 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 he continued. \u201cYou\u2019re making teachers lie to students. And even kids know that it\u2019s wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis 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,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019re teaching children to hate others because of their skin color. And you\u2019re forcing them to lie about other kids\u2019 gender. I am disgusted by your bigotry and your depravity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the end of Cross\u2019s comments, the room \u201cerupted in cheers,\u201d according to an earlier Daily Wire report on the incident, and the Loudoun school board abruptly cut off public comment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe LCPS shut down the public input after the audience erupted in applause at the end of my speech,\u201d Black added later on Twitter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/loudon-county-ends-school-meeting-after-pushback-from-parents-parents-sing-star-bangled-banner-cops-make-arrests\">per the Daily Wire<\/a>. \u201cHundreds of parents continued to rally for hours to send the message that these CRT policies are racist. Parents and teachers, stand up for your children now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, the group of parents began to sing the \u201cStar-Spangled Banner,\u201d at which point law enforcement stepped in to end the meeting, declaring the gathering an \u201cunlawful assembly\u201d and threatening parents who remained with being arrested for trespassing. At least two parents were reportedly taken into custody.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
