Kansas Math Teacher Fined for Resigning Over Mask Mandate and Critical Race Theory Teachings
A Kansas math teacher has been fined after resigning over the school’s mask mandate and Critical Race Theory program.
Josiah Enyart, a 6th grade math teacher at Comanche Elementary School, was pushed to his breaking point on July 25, when the Shawnee Mission School District sent an email renewing a mask mandate for all students and unvaccinated teachers.
“That was my final straw,” Enyart told the Sentinel.
Enyart was a teacher in the district for 13 years and won the Jedel Excellence in Mathematics Education Award last year.
The school has now fined him $1,000 for resigning after a designated final day to do so in his teaching contract. He doesn’t plan to pay it,
