During a ceremony honoring the 2019 "Teachers of the Year," one in particular stood out.
The honoree from Minnesota, Kelly Holstine, chose to kneel during the national anthem at the NCAA football championship game on Monday, where the ceremony took place, "to stand up for marginalized and oppressed people," according to a tweet she wrote, which included a photograph of her kneeling.
"Like many before, I respectfully kneeled during Nat’l Anthem because, 'No one is free until we are all free,'" she wrote, referencing former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and citing a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Holstine, an English and language arts teacher at Tokata Learning Center in Shakopee, has been outspoken about her activism before.
She lead a TED Talk in October 2019 titled "Educators must be more than allies."
In her speech, she advocated for teachers to be willing to leave their comfort zones and "stand up for all of the human beings who are being marginalized or oppressed."
"Allies are wonderful and we need them, but it is not enough for educators to just be allies," she said. "We need them to be advocates too."
In April 2019, she was also one of two "Teachers of the Year" who skipped the White House ceremony, according to The Hill.
"The words and practices and policies of this administration have been filled with a lot of hate toward the LGBTQ community, so I didn't feel comfortable in that environment," Holstine told The Hill.

At the risk of being charged with assault, I would have smacked her on the back of her shaved head if I were standing next to her.........
well I listened to the cheers for our Pres. and nation on various videos.....one person kneeling as she did meant asolutely nothing there whatsoever. The crowd was on fire for Trump and our flag!..and everyone knew it!
Virtue Signalling White Liberal - bump for later.....
This thing has no business being around anyone else’s children, let alone “teaching.”
Why is she culturally appropriating that baby behind her?
Nikes on dykes. Yikes !!!
If you are a “leader,” you lead. If you are former leader, you have “led!”
Lead is a very heavy element, commonly used in sinkers for fishing tackle or bullets for guns.
Most of us have stopped use of lead in paints and water pipes.
Was her wife at the game too?
Awwwww. It looks SOOOOOO opressed.
LOL!!!!! That’s good!!!
Teachers were all patriotic when I went to school back in the 50s and 60s. And the schools promoted patriotism, sportsmanship, morality and what they called ‘good clean wholesome fun.’ Hatred for America, disrespect for our flag, national anthem or pledge was unheard of. Homosexual perverts were not allowed to prey on our children.
We’ve come a long way, baby. Unfortunately, mostly down hill.
What a silly bunt.
Seriously, what a douche bag.
Pardon my French.
Amen.
You are 100% wrong. I distinctly heard her “moo”.
it is called baby boomers, they will be remembered in history as the single most destructive human generation ever born.

If I had been standing near her, I would’ve had a hard time refraining from giving her a swift kick in the arse.
