Credit to NPR Article by Haddon Lockyer A teacher in the state of Texas has been put on administrative leave after bluntly stating that "those Conservative Christian people" need to "get COVID and die" because of their opposition to COVID mandates. The teacher, a staff member at Colleyville Middle School, was allegedly caught on video making these statements, according to radio host Dana Loesch. She said: “We have a political system that will not allow us to [inaudible] so we’re vaccinating like the flu, which is, you know, get the flu vaccine if you want, but you can’t — don’t ‘tread on me.' But it’s too late. It would have had to have been immediate. If we had done it immediately, it’d already be gone. That’s what’s frustrating. The rest of my life is impacted because of politics? Because of conservative Christian crap? I’m telling you, those conservative Christian people, they need to die. They need to get COVID and die." WATCH THE VIDEO: The video went viral shortly after being uploaded to YouTube. According to Addison Elliott, Director of Communications for the district, the following message was sent to parents after word spread about the video: "This afternoon, GCISD learned about an online video of a Colleyville Middle School teacher talking to two colleagues in a high-traffic area on campus. The sentiments expressed in the video do not reflect the views of GCISD or Colleyville Middle School. The teacher has been placed on administrative leave. The District will continue to investigate this incident." The teacher was identified by parents as Lisa Grimes.
