Floridians Aren't Letting Bridget Ziegler Forget Sex Scandal

Dozens of students, parents, and members of the LGBTQ community appeared at a Florida school board meeting Tuesday to once more demand the resignation of its most controversial member: Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler.

For close to three hours, the public comment period of the Sarasota County School Board meeting focused on Ziegler and her refusal to step down amid the hypocrisy exposed by her and her husband’s three-way sex scandal.

Several students spoke of the way her anti-LGBTQ rhetoric has made an impact on them and others in the district, with one teenager at the podium saying it was their “lifeline” to pretend to be straight, so they wouldn’t face harassment and hate speech.

Another 12-year-old student, who identified as queer and binary, said they were terrified the board, under Ziegler, would continue to pass policies making it harder for them to learn “because of who I am.”

More than a few residents also took aim at Ziegler’s anti-LGBTQ views and opposition to policies supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The state GOP threw out her husband, why can't DeSatan throw her out too?

Publicly is oxygen to these repub role models. She'll be revered like Rittenhouse and Boobert. Keep these psychos front and center 24/7. They're not expanding their 'base'.
