Utah Board of Education member Natalie Cline will be stripped of her committee assignments and prohibited from attending some board meetings.

Utah’s Board of Education voted to censure one of its members and called for her resignation on Wednesday after she appeared to falsely suggest a teenage girl was transgender on social media.

Natalie Cline, the censured board member, posted a flyer for a Salt Lake City high school basketball team on Facebook last week, suggestively writing: “Girls’ basketball…” Although the post was later deleted — and it was revealed that the girl is not trans — Cline received a chorus of criticism from Utahns across the state last week, including from Gov. Spencer Cox.

In addition to being censured, Cline will be stripped of her committee assignments, prohibited from attending the board’s advisory committee meetings and forbidden from placing items on the board’s agenda, the board said.

        Sad to read that.
        Guess I should “Stop messin’ around”. But I’m already walking on “Shakey ground”, so why not give some “Eyesight to the blind”?
        It was the visible “Adam’s apple” that made that woman dive in “Head first” into a “Permanent vacation”, wasn’t it?

        Ok, ok, joke aside, best I “Fly away from here” before you “Get the lead out”.

        Better?

        Lyrics? Ain’t nobody got time to read lyrics! Just go read a book or something and leave the less educated nod their heads to catchy sound bites.
