"Bridget Ziegler's Refusal to Resign Sparks Controversy and Political Turmoil"

Bridget Ziegler, a cofounder of the conservative parents group Moms for Liberty, refused to resign from the Sarasota school board despite pressure from the board and community members. The board passed a resolution calling for her resignation amid revelations surrounding her husband's alleged rape investigation. Ziegler, who is known for her support of traditional family values, has faced criticism for her alleged hypocrisy. The investigation has already caused ramifications, including a split within the Moms for Liberty organization. Ziegler resigned from her position at the Leadership Institute. The board meeting was tense, with protestors demanding Ziegler's resignation. Only Governor Ron DeSantis has the power to remove a school board member, and it is unclear if he will take action.
