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.

    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.

          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.
