Washington DC’s ABC News affiliate reports:
At least two people were arrested on Tuesday afternoon, during a Loudoun County School Board meeting, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office. One person was accused of trespassing and issued a summons. The other was “charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.”

The comments on CRT continued, despite the fact that LCPS has repeatedly denied that CRT is being taught in schools.
