EXCLUSIVE: California parents rallied Saturday morning in defense of a San Marcos High School teacher who appeared on videos slamming students whose parents want to reopen in-person learning beginning last fall. Alissa Piro, an English teacher, appeared miffed over a lawsuit that a different group of parents leveled against Gov. According to district parents, Piro had once been fired from a different school for similar divisive conduct around students. But her supporters at Saturday’s rally said she was "wrongfully depicted" in the video and argued that distance learning has been hard on students, teachers and parents alike. Neither Piro nor her husband, another teacher in the district, immediately responded to Fox News requests for comment.
