"Outcry Over School Board Member's Actions Towards Teen Girl Sparks Calls for Resignation and Immediate Action"

The father of a teenage girl targeted by State Board of Education member Natalie Cline is calling for her resignation after she initiated online harassment against his daughter, a high school basketball player. Cline used a photo of the girl to construct a misleading narrative, prompting a barrage of disparaging remarks. Despite Cline's public apology and removal of the post, the father insists on further accountability, emphasizing the need for her voluntary resignation. The Utah State Board of Education leadership has condemned Cline's actions and pledged to take swift action pending a decision by the full Board, although they lack the authority to remove an elected official from their position.
