A school board member in Ohio did the Nazi salute to the board’s president, who later resigned, during a contentious Tuesday meeting.
Tipp City Schools board member Anne Zakkour said, “Oh … Sieg Heil,” before doing the Nazi salute to the group’s head, Simon Patry, during a meeting about transparency in school projects.
Zakkour had tried interrupting Patry during his remarks before Patry told her she was not allowed to speak, leading to her using the Nazi salute.

The incident is the latest example of how controversial school board meetings have gotten since the pandemic as issues of transparency and curriculum have caused many meetings around the country to bubble over in fury.
All this could have been avoided 7 years ago if only a few more people got off their lazy asses and voted.
President Trump would not have happened, the Supreme Court would not have swung to the far right ushering in a whole boat load of awful verdicts, without a traitor in the White House a ton of stuff wouldn’t have been polarized such as vaccines and government departments and institutions. Nazis would still be considered evil by most Americans - imagine that!
Huge turning point and unfortunately the genie is out of the bottle all because voters can’t be bothered to head to the polls.
Imagine if in 2000 the Supreme Court hadn’t stopped the Florida vote count and we got a president who read security briefings about attacks on American soil and cared about climate change.
Imagine if Americans learned from the past and figured out that Republicans are bad for their wallets, bad for the environment, bad for business, bad for the country and the planet.
Imagine if Americans learned from the past and figured out that geriatric politicians are bad for their wallets, bad for the environment, bad for business, bad for the country and the planet.
You’re not blaming the right people by blaming the voters, Trump was the Republican party’s Fault, he’s their Frankenstein’s monster, he shouldn’t even be able to run for office again after 1/6 yet here they are still letting him and protecting him. The Republican party has abdicated it’s responsibility to run quality candidates, they should have been the first check to balance the scales against someone like Trump, and they not only failed but through the work of Roger Aisles and Rupert Murdoch and organizations like the heritage foundation and the Federalist society along with the religious zealots have added fuel to the fire for the past 30 years.
So now they’re a Qult worshipping an aging Orange Joseph Smith that nobody seems fully capable of holding accountable, and his white supremacist/neo-nazi/pro-authoritarian facist friends.
They’re not blaming the voters. They’re blaming nonvoters.
Actually it was a bipartisan effort:
