"Utah School Board Member Censured for Questioning Student's Gender"

The Utah State Legislature has voted to censure Natalie Cline, a member of the Utah State Board of Education, for a social media post that implied a high school girl was transgender, leading to threats and harassment for the student. Cline has been stripped of committee assignments and asked to resign, with both the State Board of Education and Legislature condemning her actions. The governor signed the censure resolution, and the parents of the girl have urged Cline to resign. Cline issued a public apology, citing free speech rights, but her comments come amid a backdrop of increased legislation and laws targeting transgender individuals.
