On Thursday, a communications staffer for the Virginia Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) and a first vice president at the Fairfax NAACP in Fairfax, Va., shocked Americans across the country by wishing death on opponents of Marxist critical race theory (CRT). The Virginia PTA showed some spine and demanded her resignation. However, it seems the local NAACP has not taken any disciplinary action against her.
Michelle Leete, the woman in question, went on a diatribe against parents who oppose CRT in schools, declaring them “anti-live-and-let live people” and then declaring, “Let them die!” Leete served as the vice president of communications for the Fairfax County PTA and as vice president of training at the Virginia PTA. She apparently still serves as first vice president of the Fairfax County NAACP.
