FOUR OAKS, N.C. A Johnston County teacher could lose her job after refusing to wear a mask at school. Aurora Preston was to start her sixth year of teaching English at South Johnston High School this week, but she's not in the classroom after telling her principal last week that she had no plans to wear a mask. The Johnston County Board of Education voted Aug. 10 to mandate masks in all schools as a way to limit the spread of coronavirus, which has surged across North Carolina in recent weeks. "I feel like they're overstepping their bounds in trying to dictate things that really have nothing to do with education," Preston said Tuesday.

"Nobody had any answers. Nobody knows what to do with me," she said. "I have the right to choose whether or not I comply. ... I'm not breaking the law. I'm not telling others to break the law. I just want to adhere to my God-given rights."

Preston said she doesn't believe masks reduce the spread of the virus, contradicting the position held by federal, state and local health experts. The school board followed that public health guidance when voting to require masks. "It's not about the mask, it's about the control factor, because, after the masks are done, then what? Then it's about the vaccines," she said.
Preston also isn't vaccinated against the virus and said she has no plans to get any shots. Her Facebook page features her picture with the statements: "I trust my immune system. My body, my choice. Freedom to choose."

She's too big a fool to be a teacher, anyway.

(2,015 posts)when they tell her she can't wear halter tops and Daisy Dukes to class. Does she have a problem complying with the rest of their dress code?

(21,714 posts)She has basically said that she won't get a vaccine and won't try to protect herself from getting the virus. If I lived there, my opinion would be to fire her ass.

Those degree programs must be getting more and more complicated!

(24,221 posts)So what is she really choosing?
She is choosing that if she gets sick our society will do everything it can, and spend lots of money, to save her life, and those that she infects along the way, from a preventable situation.
She is counting on us but refuses to admit it.

(46,914 posts)Doesn't understand science, or basic infection control procedures.
Doesn't listen to educated, respected scientists and medical professionals.
Doesn't care if she makes others sick or kills them.
This person should not be teaching children or be in any position of responsibility.
