An elementary school teacher from Kansas was fined a thousand dollars for quitting his job. The reason behind his quitting was mask mandates and critical race theory (CRT) being part of the school curriculum. Identified as Josiah Enyart, the teacher resigned after the Shawnee Mission School District sent an email renewing their mask mandate and CRT training on July 25.

The highly-debated CRT has become a reason behind nationwide turbulence amongst educators and legislators. Megan Gaha of Iowa was highly slammed online for going on a TikTok rant about breaking law to teach CRT in schools. Laura Morris had also made headlines after tearfully quitting during a school board meeting over CRT lessons. NCAAP official Michelle Leete was also criticized by social media for wishing the death of anti-CRT parents. Enyart too is being slammed for his stance, with social media calling his fining "good news".
