(ChurchLeaders) When public school teacher Jonathan Koeppel spoke out against what he calls liberal indoctrination of students, he was banned in some circles and embraced in others.
Koeppel, a Christian who teaches Spanish in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, recently went viral for his public comments at a school board meeting. After warning about Critical Race Theory (CRT) and controversial theories about gender, Koeppel told administrators, “Don’t push this ideology on children. I’m not going to work in a district that’s okay with that.”
Before TikTok banned video of his comments as hate speech, Koeppel racked up more than 10 million views. Now some Christians and conservative media outlets are hailing his bravery, and Koeppel is selling merchandise at BraveTeacher.com to “fight for preserving American Values.”
