An official with the Virginia Parent-Teacher Association resigned after she was heard in a video saying "Let them die," a comment some felt was aimed at parents at a rally to oppose critical race theory.

Michelle Leete, who worked as the Virginia PTA's vice president of training, said she did not mean to wish death on parents who are opposed to teaching race history in schools. Instead, she told the Washington Post, she hoped the parents' right-wing "ideals" would die. However, the damage was already done.

The Virginia PTA announced on Saturday that it had requested and received Leete's resignation.

"While not speaking in her role within Virginia PTA, we do not condone the choice of words used during a public event on Thursday, July 15, 2021,” the statement read

Biden will invite her to the White House. She'll get a statue.
BLM slush fund will support her. She'll be cherished for "starting a conversation ".

Sorry, but anyone that wants to teach that white kids are born racist shouldn't be in any position of authority in our schools.

I’ve long been pressured by my friends and family to run for political office. The only one I would seriously consider is the school board. People like this woman are everywhere. Even here, in BFE Swain County NC. The only difference is there are enough of us here to remove them as soon as they reveal themselves. Interesting side note, the two we removed both ran as Republicans.

This is a big win for the people of Virginia.

It warms the heart to see people standing up to racism.

Damn, you really are in the mountains.
Your handle is appropriate. It's gorgeous up there.

That’s actually Jackson County. It’s not so little anymore. People from all over SEC country have found their way there. Which isn’t a bad thing. I much prefer y’all to the yankee halfbacks. Western Carolina University has really grown as well.

I’m outside of Bryson City on 50 acres. I think Roger may be the only guy here that lives more remotely than me.

This lady will get a far more prestigious job wielding far more power. Once that happens, she'll take back everything she said in her "clarification" statement and say those parents really do deserve to die

The scary part is, that bitch is likely dumb enough to believe everyone else is as dumb as her and would believe that bullshite. Hell, she probably looks down on the parents and thinks she’s smarter than all of them.
