"A member of the Lynchburg City (Virginia) School Board has resigned in the wake of an obscenity-laden Facebook post ripping the election of Donald Trump.
Poore admits she would have “considered her language more carefully had she known the post would go public,” but said “her conscience compelled her to act.”
She said the controversial comments weren’t the only reason for her resignation; with her being a “lightning rod for outside distractions,” her departure was best “to preserve the integrity of the board.”
From the article:
[Poore] stated she was not asked or pressured to step down, and the decision was her own.
...Poore said “a number of people have reached out to her” offering their thanks for her speaking out. In addition, some fellow board members praised her, saying she has “an incisive mind” and is “a champion for different students of all backgrounds.”
