SOUTH SALT LAKE, Utah — Calling her actions"cowardly, harmful and unacceptable," the Granite School District Board of Education passed a resolution Friday condemning state board of education member Natalie Cline for targeting a student with false comments earlier this week.
"I wanted to help say the student has support with all the people that showed up, I hope this gets to the student who’s been affected that from the board on down, there’s support,” said Kerry Bishop, an English teacher at Hunter Junior High. "This resolution is in short asking all of us to take a stance to convict and condemn someone without due process,” added Chandler. “Due process is always important and should be guaranteed to everyone regardless of their views or the actions they are accused of taking.”
“I immediately was brought to tears because I grew up playing basketball in Utah, I’m a very masculine woman, and I was a very masculine girl. I had parents saying out loud, why is there a boy on the court? Why are we going to let that boy play? And I grew up hearing that, I know what it feels like,” said Amanda Darrow, executive director of IncludEd United.
