Dear Friend,
After working for more than a decade in schools outside of
Washington, D.C., Emily Mais and her family moved to Albemarle
County in Virginia in search of a simpler life and a close-knit
community.
The public schools in Albemarle had an excellent reputation. And
that made it a perfect fit for Emily because for as long as she
can remember, all Emily wanted to be was a teacher.
In October 2018, she began working as Assistant Principal of
Agnor-Hurt Elementary School in Charlottesville, Virginia.
She had no idea that she'd be turning to Alliance Defending
Freedom three short years later. She's filed a lawsuit after
being forced out of her job because she stood up to the school's
divisive critical race theory-inspired curriculum, one that
scapegoats, stereotypes, and divides people based on race
"CRT is not a vague, non-threatening idea. It
isn't just teaching history. It's a view of America that is
thoroughly perverse."
-- Ben Shapiro, DailyWire founding editor-in-chief and editor
emeritus.
CRT-based curriculum is poisoning a generation
of children. Emily is one of a growing number of teachers across
the nation who are finding themselves harassed and punished
because they are willing to stand up to protect these children.
Legal battles like this are absolutely worth the fight but can be
expensive. Emily can't stand up against the district and win
without your help. Will you help defend Emily and others like her
stand up against intimidation and Critical Race Theory inspired
policies by making your best gift of $25, $50, $75, $150, or more
today?

Are you on the bus?
-------------------
In 2019 and 2020, the Albemarle County School District introduced
a controversial policy and mandatory teacher training based on
critical race theory - a theory whose solution to perceived
injustice, according to Ben Shapiro, is to "tear everything
down."
The goal was laudable: to eliminate "all forms of racism."
But it produced the opposite result. And what happened to Emily
was as predictable as it is outrageous.
The school district introduced this policy and training just as
public schools returned to in-person learning during the COVID-19
pandemic. Teachers and administrators were balancing a whole host
of new challenges, including adhering to health and safety rules
and helping students who had fallen behind during virtual
learning.
Not only was the policy and training introduced at a difficult
time, but Emily had legitimate concerns with what they taught.
Emily witnessed firsthand how the training actually instructed
teachers to view each other and their students solely through the
lens of race and treat them differently based on their race.

Emily believes that every person is made in the
image of God, deserving to be treated equally and with respect.
During the teacher trainings, she also saw how white staff
members who wanted to participate were shut down or dismissed. In
fact, all staff members were encouraged to "speak their truth"
with no regard to what the actual truth really was.
When white staff members did speak up, they were told by other
participants that they couldn't possibly understand the topic
because of the color of their skin. They were dismissed and
harassed based on their race. In a sane world, we would call that
racism.
In meetings with staff members, it was suggested that anyone who
opposed the new policy was racist. One administrator said
teachers needed to consider whether they were on the "antiracism
school bus, or if you need help finding your seat and keeping
your seat, or if it's time for you to just get off the bus."
In so many words: get with the program or prepare to be shamed
and lose your job.
Even more disturbing: When parents expressed concerns about the
curriculum at a school board meeting, an assistant superintendent
said in a meeting the next day that he received the parents'
comments as if they were slave owners who had raped his mother
and sister, beaten him, and were now telling him not to talk
about it.
Emily could not believe the growing hostility of the culture
within the school system. But when she made one small slip of the
tongue, she found out just how nasty things could get.
When that happened, Emily turned to ADF for help. Will you stand
with her by making a gift right now to help fuel her legal
defense - and the defense of other Americans like her?

The shaming of Emily Mais
-------------------------
The group discussed the school district's race-related hiring
practices during one training session.
Emily made a comment on the topic, intending to use the phrase
"people of color." But, she accidentally said "colored" instead.
She immediately apologized (profusely and repeatedly) but one
staff member wouldn't accept her apology and proceeded to berate
her in front of the entire group.
After this, abuse rained down on Emily for months.
Again and again, she was accused of being a racist for this slip
of the tongue. No apology would ever satisfy. Other employees
openly cursed about her and called her vulgar names at work,
including "white racist b**ch."
But that's part and parcel of the cult of CRT: no forgiveness, no
grace, just anger and punishment.
Some coworkers came to Emily in tears about what was happening to
her. But they dared not support her in public for fear of what
would happen to themselves.

When Emily had simply had enough and was not
willing to endure the abuse any longer, she left her job - a job
that she loved.
But before she could leave, administrators orchestrated a final
apology meeting to further humiliate, shame, and traumatize Emily
for her slip of the tongue.
The message was clear for other employees: This is the type of
punishment you can expect if you dare question the new radical,
CRT-based training program - which is racist at its core.
With a gift today, you can help defend people like Emily and
empower others to stand up to speech-squelching, racist policies
like the one in Albemarle County.
Emily was retaliated against for her speech, discriminated
against for her point of view, and subjected to a work
environment bitterly divided by race.
Teachers like her don't surrender their constitutional rights at
the schoolhouse doors, or when schools adopt radical, racist
policies.
But this is happening to a growing number of teachers and other
Americans across the country.
That's why your gift today of $25, $50, $75, or even $150 is so
important.
Emily is taking a stand to not only correct the injustice against
her, but to encourage the other teachers and parents who have
been vilified for speaking the truth.
She loved her job and received glowing review after glowing
review. She believed in fairness for everyone. She took great
pride in serving families.
It wasn't enough. It never is for those blinded by CRT-inspired
ideology.
Your gift today will take a stand against the indoctrination of
our public school students in critical race theory and other
divisive ideologies, and for the teachers like Emily who dissent,
only wanting to do what's best for her students.
Please contribute to Emily's defense now with your tax-deductible
donation. We can't let her stand alone.
