Nick Reed PODCAST: 06.11 – SPS Teacher Who Was Escorted Out Of School Board Meeting Speaks Out

Published: June 11, 2021, 1:02 p.m.

Springfield Public Schools educator and parent Brooke Henderson spoke at the SPS board meeting earlier this week: Brooke decided to speak at the meeting after a biracial student in SPS attempted to take his own life. The student felt bullied by teachers and students because of the ‘white’ part of him is ‘racist’. This type of thinking is due largely in part to curriculum like critical race theory (CRT). During the meeting, there was “technical” issues and the live stream wasn’t working. Someone has now posted a video of Brooke speaking at the meeting. You can find a transcript of her speech here. During her speech, her mic was cut and she was escorted out by a school resource officer. Why? Because school board officials say she went over the 5 minute allotted time. After watching the video, Brooke spoke for roughly 4:40 – which is under the 5 minute mark.
