Utah high school teacher's anti-Trump, pro-vaccine rant caught on video
8/18/21 UPDATE: The Alpine School District has fired Lean Kinyon.
A Lehi High School chemistry teacher is on administrative leave after a video of the way she spoke in her classroom was shared with district leaders.
Video recorded by a student in the classroom was shared with FOX 13 by his mother, Judy Storms.
Part of the four-minute video shows Leah Kinyon speaking about COVID-19 vaccines.
“I would be super proud of you if you chose to acquire the vaccine,” Kinyon says in the video. “We’ll just keep getting variants over and over until people acquire vaccinated… It could stop in five seconds if people would acquire vaccinated.”
The teacher was not wearing a mask while making the comments.
“This is my classroom, and if you guys are going to put me at risk, you’re going to hear about it,” she added. “Because I have to be here. I don’t have to be happy about the fact that there’s kids coming in here with their variants that could possibly acquire me or my family sick. That’s rude, and I’m not going to pretend love it’s not.”
