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.

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.
