Two women from Orange County, California—Rebecca Friedrichs, an elementary school teacher, and Natalie Harp, a cancer survivor—both spoke Aug. 25 at the first night of the Republican National Convention.

Friedrichs, a vocal critic of teachers unions, used her platform to highlight what she called a “radical agenda” being pushed on teachers and schools.
