Utah teacher who shared political views no longer at school

LEHI, Utah (AP) — A Utah teacher is no longer employed at a high school after a video of her sharing political opinions in class began circulating online. The teacher at Lehi High School was initially placed on administrative leave after the video surfaced. District officials said Wednesday that she no longer works there. Video that appears to be surreptitiously recorded by a student in the classroom shows the teacher criticizing people who choose to not get vaccinated against COVID-19. Conservative activists who have led demonstrations against mask mandates and vaccines shared the video online. The school district said in a statement that it disavowed the teacher’s comments.
