Conservative firebrand Bridget Ziegler insists she will stay on the Sarasota school board after the other members passed a resolution calling on her to resign. The board doesn’t have the legal power to force her removal. Only DeSantis does.
Ziegler is co-founder of Moms for Liberty and a national voice for traditional family values. She has led the crusade to censor books about sexuality and racism. She is an outspoken critic of homosexuality.
Students were not allowed to attend the meeting because of the nature of her activity: three-way sex with her husband and another woman.
Hypocrisy is not a crime.
Maybe now Bridget will stop denouncing gays. Or is that too much to hope?

Are newspaper articles about her, um, recreational activities permitted in school libraries?
Hope springs eternal, but this one is pretty likely to wilt before it leafs out. The rank hypocrisy and sanctimonious smugness of people like the Zieglers knows no bounds and even being caught out in their hypocrisy will not make them change their vile rhetoric one bit.
Agree- a predictable route for her- she’ll attach herself to a church (one that specializes in generating revenue for its leaders), she’ll be contrite about the liason(s) and, she’ll say a demon led her astray. It redefines the transgression away from hypocrisy.
There’s no shame if the devil took over free will and no accountability if pastors and priests have publicly-delivered forgiveness on tap.
Whatever she says or does, she will never escape the big B branded on her.
B for Bridget
B for Bisexual
As long as she remains on the board, the more of a distraction it, indeed, will be, ergo, the more the hypocrisy marinades and spreads amongst Moms for Liberty, thereby totally subverting their anti-democratic and despicably un-American mission. Keep her on the board as the specimen of innate hypocrisy she (as well as her husband) is!
Creates interest among the public in attending board meetings. Someone should buy her a bespoke T-shirt to wear. ” Me, M4L and Koch – 3 ways.”
Love it!
Yossarian: YES!
Enough hypocrisy to go around-
Rhetorically, should men similar to Ross Stevens and Leon Cooperman, in political spending and publicly stated attitudes, “step down” from political influence (unless it could be turned to support progressive causes)?
Both men, Stevens (UPenn) and Cooperman (Columbia) are opposed to what is happening on the campuses (recent reports about US and Israel). Both of the elite schools are legacy admission, a policy that is synonymous with discrimination. IMO, the selective sensitivity of Stevens and Cooperman is on display. They should be funding the Network for Public Education. Public schools adhere to laws about protected classes both in employment and admission. The inclusivity could be predicted to lessen antipathies in the communities.
Cooperman reportedly said, “Fair share is a bullshit concept.” He should consider that the concept of unprecedented wealth is bullshit in a democracy. He touts Israel as the only democracy in the Middle East, while his GOP political spending undermines democracy in the US.
Every time she utters a negative word about gays, she should be reminded that she is gay too. It is no choice. The devil controls her.
Liberal teacher, that’s why I’m glad she’s not resigning.
These folks want to be the “poster child” for don’t-say-gay laws; well, make up those posters with the three of them and plaster them on every highway in Sarasota. Or is this another “hold you nose and vote for them anyway” rationalizations for Sarasota vote?
I hope every middle and high school social studies class has a kid bold enough to hold up a newspaper and ask his/her teacher “Can we talk about some current events today?”
Haaaa!!!!
If a jurist belongs to a church that is anti-gay, shouldn’t there be a recusal
in cases that come before the court regarding gay rights?
If a jurist belongs to a church that devalues the lives of women, shouldn’t there be a recusal in abortion cases?
What are the religious sects of the Texas Supreme court justices?
If a jurist belonged to the Ku Klux Klan, a Black person could logically assume he wouldn’t be treated fairly.
A Salon article identified a statistic related to Trump’s supporters. The journalist wrote that polls show 40% of self-described evangelicals don’t go to church.
For comparison purposes, 63% of White Catholics who attend church regularly voted for Trump in 2020, a 3% increase from 2016.
