Elected to the Bourne School Board in May 2021, MacRae made TikTok videos for her campaign in which she said she would make sure CRT wouldn\u2019t be taught in Bourne schools, and expressed her opposition to schools teaching that students \u2018can choose whether or not they can be a girl or a boy.\u2019 She has refused calls to resign from the school board position.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5371\" src=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif 500w, https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line-300x22.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These attacks on dissenting teachers is nothing new, not even from an organization that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eagnews.org\/2015\/06\/union-launches-personal-attack-against-dissident-teacher-releases-confidential-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">purports<\/a> to be their defenders.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAfter being compelled to pay thousands of dollars in union dues over 37 years as a teacher, Mary Davenport thought the least it could do was create a harmonious workplace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cDavenport says she got the opposite, which has taken a toll personally and professionally.
