Parents in Loudoun County, Virginia were forced to stand outside in a violent thunderstorm Tuesday night after school board members invoked absurd "security" and Wuhan coronavirus "safety" measures at a public meeting.

Schools board won't let them in when it pours and the building is down to 10 people inside waiting.
Stay classy. pic.twitter.com/t62EJ1sH2b
Hard to hear with a complete downpour, lighting and being packed under the awning. The Loudoun County powers that be still won’t let more then 10 people in at a time. I am pretty sure there is more security then people inside #figureitout @LCPSOfficial pic.twitter.com/PPk9Jzt0bQ

According to parents who attended, where debate about new transgender pronoun policy and rules was scheduled to take place, school board members only allowed one speaker in the room at a time. Parents were also required to go through security.
So you now have to go through a TSA screening to speak at the @LCPSOfficial school board meeting. Remind you they are only letting 10 people in the building at a time and one speaker in the board room. pic.twitter.com/zyt9n8BQ6r

During the meeting a Loudoun County school teacher resigned, citing a conflict between the planned transgender policy and her faith.

A woman who says she's a Loudoun County teacher just broke into tears addressing the school board saying she would not honor the transgender pronoun policy because of her faith and she told the board she was quitting her job, right there on the spot. @nbcwashington pic.twitter.com/GTPa2C0Twz

For months Loudoun County parents have showed up to school board meetings in opposition of leftist indoctrination of children, including through Critical Race Theory. The response from the board Tuesday night was to shut parents out.
What did the radical Loudoun school board do when parents got in the way of their political agenda? Changed the rules to shut out & silence the very people they are supposed to serve.
