FIRST ON FOX: The temperature in Loudoun County, Virginia, is about to get hotter as an anti-critical race theory (CRT) organization launches $500,000 worth of ads criticizing the school board, Fox News has learned.
The ads, purchased by the Free to Learn Coalition, are set to air during the Washington Football Team's Sunday game as well as on local broadcast networks for the next two weeks.
For over a year, Loudoun has seen an increasingly tense political atmosphere explode over so-called equity trainings that some residents see as a form of CRT indoctrination. School board member Beth Barts is set to appear in court Monday in response to a recall petition that was months in the making.
"Loudoun County, Virginia spent nearly half a million to develop a divisive curriculum promoted by political activists," says a female narrator. The narrator added that"when parents spoke up, officials threatened to silence them." That was in reference to a tweet from the Minority Student Achievement Advisory Committee within Loudoun County Public Schools .
It also features footage of Tanner Cross and Laura Morris – two teachers who publicly protested the school district's policies at board meetings. Cross, for example, was suspended for opposing gender-related proposals and fought to keep his job in a months-long legal battle.
