A Louisiana educator who recently made headlines for confronting his school board over its woke curriculum push now wants to speak about the matter with state legislators. And that s not all he has in mind.
With the big push for critical race theory to be mandated by his state, Jonathan Koeppel plans to try and speak at an upcoming committee hearing. I just talked to one of our state representatives about it, and I said, Look, I don t know about other teachers, but I am more than willing to get in front of whoever I need to get in front of and say whatever I need to say to try to convince you guys that we don t need critical race theory in our state, he shares.

Jonathan Koeppel, a Louisiana high school teacher that went viral last month after objecting to his school’s gender theory curriculum, spoke with the Daily Caller about his experience protesting the radical lessons.
Koeppel spoke out against gender identity education during an April school board meeting. Koeppel criticized an application used in school by students called “Brain Pop” for teaching about gender identity and personal pronouns.
“Who gave permission to talk about this? There’s two genders,” said Koeppel during the meeting. “I’m not going to work in a district that’s okay with that.”
Koeppel played for the board a lesson from “Brainpop” that was teaching students to refer to their friends as “they” if you were unsure of friends’ gender pronouns.
