And even if the girl was trans, she still shouldn't be bullying kids online. Jesus fuck, these people are so disgustingly pathetic.

Shitty thing to say but I want her in a lawsuit/jail for harassment.
This government official used her position to ruin the life of a teenager. Over fucking nothing.
Yup. "Trans" is the new "witch".
Oh my god you’re right and I’m disgusted
You're disgusted by our brave civil servants engaged in their holy duty? That sounds like something a witch would say!
How do we kill witches now? I saw a documentary on them recently and I think there was like a killing curse but then a boy with a forehead scar deflected it.
I prefer burning. Put your witch on a nice, big bonfire, and if you can hear the demons they've enslaved screaming when the fire gets going, then they're a witch.
If not, make sure you have enough water to douse the fire before it moves north of their legs.
I prefer the old "duck on a scale" method.
She'll definitely learn her lesson from that wrist slap.
I mean isn't that literally all they can do?
No. It's not literally all they can do. At bare minimum she should have been expelled. And I hope she is sued into poverty by the girl she maligned.
There's a reason she got in the board.
At bare minimum she should have been expelled.
She’s an elected official. Imagine if governments could just expel any elected officials they didn’t agree with. What she did is fucked, and the girl should absolutely sue. But I doubt the board of education has the power to just kick her out entirely. They pulled her out of her special committees (where a lot of policy is written before it reaches a general vote,) and barred her from attending non-essential meetings. What else do you realistically expect them to do? The board did what they could to hamstring her and prevent her from pushing actual policy.
Imagine if governments could just expel any elected officials they didn’t agree with.
Legislatures can expel anyone they want with a vote.
They have a civil case for defamation, but I honestly think adults bullying children should get a criminal citation. Not a felony, but still something.
I think it should be a felony for a member of the board of education. She knowingly and willingly endangered the life of a child.
Trans hate harms everyone.
As a resident of this state it bugs the shit out of me to know these are the folks my neighbors vote for.
And when I see a reference to Utah in the news, I immediately wonder what kind of stupid or horrible thing have we done this time.
As a Texan, I feel your pain.
Oklahoman. Same here.
Also as a fellow Oklahoman I too feel the pain.
As a Floridian so do I
Perhaps they're competing against Arizona for "Florida of the West" honors.
From a trans person, thank you to all of you on this thread. It's the first time I've felt hope from a comment section since I don't know when.
Republicans are the biggest snowflakes I’ve ever seen tbh. Imagine feeling the need to shit on a high schooler for a political W.
Fucking pathetic.
Especially over something as ridiculous and inconsequential as high school sports.
What religion does she follow?
It's Utah. She's LDS.
...or on LSD:
At sufficiently high dosages LSD manifests primarily mental, visual, and auditory hallucinations
