A Texas teacher recently got caught in what some may call a ‘hot-mic’ moment; middle school teacher Lisa Grimes was seen on camera wishing that conservative Christians would “get COVID and die.”

The video was originally obtained by conservative radio host Dana Loesch.

“We have a political system that will not allow us to [inaudible] so we’re vaccinating like the flu, which is, you know, get the flu vaccine if you want but you can’t — don’t ‘tread on me,'” Grimes said in the video as another colleague talked over her. “But it’s too late. It would have had to have been immediate. If we would have done it immediately, it’d already be gone.”

Grimes then aired her dirty laundry against people of faith who believe in preserving longstanding American traditions.

“That’s what’s frustrating. The rest of my life is impacted because of politics? Because of conservative Christian crap? I’m telling you, those conservative Christians, they need to die — they need to get COVID and die.“

Other adults involved in the conversation did not appear to object to the vitriolic statement.

The Grapevine-Colleyville school district reportedly released a statement indicating that “a Colleyville Middle School teacher” had been placed on administrative leave as a direct consequence of the incident.

“This afternoon, GCISD learned about an online video of a Colleyville Middle School teacher talking to two colleagues in a high-traffic area on campus. The sentiments expressed in the video do not reflect the views of GCISD or Colleyville Middle School. The teacher has been placed on administrative leave,” the statement said. “The District will continue to investigate this incident.”

Blaze Media noted that Grimes’ employee page on the Colleyville Middle School website has been taken down since reports on the incident.

Big League Politics has reported on other disturbing developments out of American schools, including a shocking video that surfaced earlier this month showing a group of kindergarten-aged children being forced to parade around in face masks while chanting “Black Lives Matter.”
