Caught: Loudoun Co. Teacher Uses School Email to Shield Superintendent from Congress

Radical activist teacher comes to the rescue of Superintendent Aaron Spence.

A Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) teacher who admits to political activism in her classroom and defying school board policies is now using school resources to lobby Congress.

Jessica Berg is soliciting signatures from her colleagues and others in defense of controversial Superintendent Aaron Spence who has been summoned to testify before Congress about "Attacks on Parental Rights, Inappropriate Content, and Legal Abuses in America's Schools."

Berg used her LCPS email account to lobby Congress in support of Spence. She created a letter and is soliciting signatures from LCPS employees and community members in support of so-called "inclusive policies" created under Aaron Spence. A Google Form created by Berg shows that it was "created inside of Loudoun County Public Schools" and the letter itself was created by Berg's work account.

Perhaps one of the questions Congress should ask Spence is, "Why are activist teachers, pushing political agendas in classrooms, still employed in LCPS?"

This isn't the first time Berg has brought her political activism into schools.

In 2019, Berg published an article in Ms. magazine admitting she discussed "reproductive rights" in her classroom because she claimed "a woman's choice on what to do with her body isn't political. It's just the real world." Berg further revealed what she would talk about with her students saying:

So today in class, we are talking about it. We are going to talk about why men feel constantly entitled to women's bodies: from censoring Serena's attire to groping Ariana Grande on stage, from rampant rape culture that denigrates women to mere objects to the laws and regulations telling us what to do with our bodies after they are done with them.

She again doubled down in defiance, saying, "This is about access to the conversation. And if someone has a problem with it, they can check their privilege before they check my lesson plan."

In another article she revealed that she created the LCPS Women's Studies course so she could delve into topics such as "the history of misogyny and the rampant sexism that still exists today." She was motivated to create the course after "the more qualified candidate did not win the 2016 Presidential election."

Berg also claims that "we need to keep questioning the very foundations the American society is built on" and students need to be given tools to "dismantle the very structures and institutions that run on maintaining inequity."

Berg recently made headlines when she allowed Democrat Party campaign materials to be distributed at a school sponsored March 2026 event called the "Rise to" summit.

Restoration News obtained an email Berg sent to the school board in May. Despite a policy adopted by the board to prohibit the distribution of campaign materials, she defiantly said, "to be clear, regardless of any new policy that is now in place, I will continue to host the 'Rise To' Summit in the manner I always have because it matters to students." She also doubled down saying she would continue her classroom political activism, "I will continue to discuss policy and legislation that is affecting the lives of my students"—she even included the link to her Ms. activism article in her email to the board.

It raises an obvious question: Why is this far-left activist teacher still employed in a public school classroom? In all likelihood, it's because the school board's Democrat leaders agree with her.

The community can see for themselves which activist educators and groups signed onto Berg's letter. Others who are fed up with public schools becoming a hotbed of leftist activism can send their thoughts directly to the congressional committee that will question Aaron Spence.

As Congress prepares to question Aaron Spence on June 10, the Berg situation offers a telling example of the deeper problems within LCPS. There is a culture of ideological activism that has been permitted from the top down. Parents and taxpayers across the nation who believe public schools should educate rather than indoctrinate should make their voices heard—contact the congressional committee, show up to school board meetings, and hold every elected official accountable who allows this propaganda to continue.

This isn't just happening in Loudoun County—it's everywhere.
