Massachusetts Elementary School Teacher Fired After Being Exposed as White Supremacist Writer Who Hid Behind Pseudonyms

At this point, Republicans are Haley Joel Osment curled up underneath his covers whispering to Bruce Willis, “I see Critical Race Theory.” They’re convinced that you can’t get Critical Race Theory wet or feed it after midnight, otherwise it will spread and gremlin-ize Americans everywhere into hating their country as well as their whiteness.
