In the video, she complains about students who refuse<\/span><span> to get vaccinated and can be heard claiming that the virus would \u201cend in five seconds\u201d if people got inoculated.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019ll just keep getting variants over and over and over until people get vaccinated. It\u2019s never going to end,\u201d the teacher said.&nbsp; \u201cIt could end in five seconds if people would get vaccinated.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The teacher proceeded to express her hatred for Donald Trump and taunted the students to tell administrators about her rant. One student can be heard asking if she\u2019s a liberal, while another piped in, \u201cThis is a chemistry class!\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI hate Donald Trump. I\u2019m gonna say it. I don\u2019t care what y\u2019all think. Trump sucks,\u201d the teacher said. \u201cHe is a sexual predator, he is a literal moron. Go tattle on me to the freakin\u2019 admins, they don\u2019t give a crap.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Watch:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Utah Lehi High School Teacher Leah Kinyon 8 17 21 -  &quot;Chemistry&quot; teacher.\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TI3EeLvI558?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>She looped back to her feelings about being in a classroom learning environment with unvaccinated students. She called the students \u201crude\u201d for coming to her class unvaccinated and asked if they, or their parents, listen to Fox News. She told them to \u201cturn off the Fox News.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cTurn off the Fox News. Do your parents listen to Fox News? This is my classroom and if you guys are going to put me at risk you\u2019re going to hear about it,\u201d she said. \u201cBecause I have to be here. I don\u2019t have to be happy about the fact that there\u2019s kids coming in here, with their variants that could possibly get me or my family sick. That\u2019s rude. And I\u2019m not going to pretend like it\u2019s not. So don\u2019t ask me to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Within her four-minute-long rant, which included students informally peppering her with questions, the teacher encouraged students to ignore their parents because the high schoolers are, according to this teacher, smarter than their parents.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cMost of y\u2019alls parents are dumber than you. I\u2019m going to say that out loud.\u201d \u201cMy parents are freaking dumb,\u201d she continued. \u201cOkay, and the minute I figured that out, the world opens up. You don\u2019t have to do everything your parents say. And you don\u2019t have to believe everything your parents believe. Because most likely, you\u2019re smarter than them.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Near the end of her rant, the teacher told students to remain silent about their conservative beliefs in the classroom. She told students that they must accept climate change and not be a \u201chomophobe\u201d if they do not wish to be made fun of by the teacher.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cYou can believe what you want to believe, but keep it quiet in here because I\u2019m probably going to make fun of you. I\u2019ll just say this, here are the topics that you\u2019ll probably want to avoid in this class. Politics, which you went into \u2014 you asked me,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> \u201cIf you don\u2019t believe in climate change, get the hell out \u2026 That\u2019s pathetic that you think that. You\u2019re the problem with the world. Okay?\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf you\u2019re a homophobe, get out. Because I\u2019m the [Gay Straight Alliance] faculty advisor. I love gay people, all the LGBTQIA plus mother f*****s. If you don\u2019t like it. Get out,\u201d the teacher continued. \u201cIf I hear you say a d**n word against any of them, I will open a can, and I will make your life a living h**l.&nbsp; And they know it. If you give shiz to any LGBTQ kid in the school, I will hear about it, and you will be in trouble.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Alpine School District issued a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kslnewsradio.com\/1954158\/lehi-high-school-teacher-video\/\"><span>statement<\/span><\/a><span> condemning the teacher\u2019s behavior and announcing that she had been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe became aware late this afternoon of an incident that took place in one of our high school classrooms. An immediate investigation ensued. The employee has been put on administrative leave pending a thorough investigation,\u201d the school district said. \u201cThis behavior is inappropriate, not reflective of the professional conduct and decorum we expect of our teachers, and will not be tolerated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Within 24 hours, the district <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksl.com\/article\/50225272\/lehi-teacher-no-longer-employed-after-controversial-political-speech-to-class\"><span>updated<\/span><\/a><span> its statement to reflect that the teacher is no longer an employee at the school. It\u2019s unclear whether the teacher was fired or resigned.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAlthough the details of a personnel investigation are confidential, the teacher involved is no longer an employee of Alpine School District,\u201d the district said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
