A former Virginia state legislator, who was one of the speakers at Tuesday night’s Loudoun County school board meeting, blasted the group for its “bigotry” and its “depravity” in a fiery speech that eventually forced authorities to bring the meeting to an abrupt close.

Monday night’s incident stemmed from the Loudoun County school board’s decision to “a court order to reinstate teacher Tanner Cross, who was suspended after speaking out publicly against the proposal,” per Fox News. The parents “argued that fighting the judge is a waste of taxpayers’ money and doomed to fail. Another woman urged several board members, facing a recall effort, to resign and save taxpayers even more money. Others blasted a district official who allegedly made threatening Internet searches on a district smartphone.”
