(VIDEO) Principal calls parents 'whackos,' 'pushy' for speaking out against critical race theory — and apologizes after her emailed insults come to light

An Arizona public school principal issued an apology after calling parents "whackos" and "pushy" for contesting critical race theory, Young America's Foundation reported.

Through a Freedom of Information Act request, the outlet said it obtained internal emails penned by Desert Valley Elementary School Principal Tonja Neve that targeted nearly dozen parents who spoke at a Dec. 10 school board meeting in opposition to a proposed curriculum that would promote elements of critical race theory.

One parent who spoke during the meeting asked the district to "stop diluting student education with politically correct, feel-good propaganda."
