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.
Would you be shocked if I told you that she was a Republican? And that parents filed a lawsuit in 2021 to have her removed? Me neither.
This is why school board members shouldn’t be elected by randos with no stake in the schools.
But who doesn’t have a stake in our schools? We all depend upon an educated workforce to run everything.
Their stake is different than yours.
They want obedient, unquestioning, future sheep for their theocracy. They don’t want an educated workforce because educated people ask too many questions and make too many demands - especially for things like decent pay and good working conditions.

Republicans rely on an uneducated public to vote for them.
Republicans are like the opposite of Timothy Leary. “Don’t think for yourself, don’t question authority.” I think there’s a word for it. Starts with an A and ends with uthoritarianism. Or start it with ass and end it with holes if you prefer.
No wonder Nixon called him the most dangerous man in America. And started a civil war to criminalize people who question authority.
This is true. But if every rando understood that, conservative politicians would not exist. And yet, they do.
