Newly Elected Conservative School Board Fires Superintendent, Bans Critical Race Theory

 Berkeley County School Board

• In one meeting, Deon Jackson went from South Carolina's Berkeley County school superintendent to unemployed
• The newly-elected school board fired superintendent Jackson and school counsel Tiffany Richardson, and hired Anthony Dixon as superintendent and retained Brandon Gaskins as counsel
• Before the day was over, the board banned teaching critical race theory and created a board to review library books for pornographic content

Fire and Firings

• When Jackson left the board meeting at which he was fired, it appeared that not everyone supported the board's decision. Some parents watching walked out with him in protest, video from local network Live 5 WCSC News shows.
• So far, the board has yet to explain its rationale for firing Jackson and Richardson.

National Implications

• Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice said that although she doesn't know of any other school boards that have fired their superintendents, she expects that boards nationwide will follow Berkeley's lead.
• "Our children don't have any time to waste. Two years of their lives have already been stolen from them by teachers' unions and bureaucrats."
