A high school basketball player in Utah has been given official police protection after a state Board of Education member posted her picture on social media, speculating that she could be transgender.

In a Facebook post this past week, Utah Board of Education (BoE) member Natalie Cline reposted a screenshot of a Granite School District Instagram post about a girls’ basketball game, specifically a photo of one of the players. “Girls’ basketball…” read the caption, insinuating that the player is transgender and should not have been allowed on the team.

Cyberbullies quickly targeted the teenager and her family, NBC affiliate KSL-TV reported this week. The student has been given police protection for her own safety, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. Al van der Beek, the teen’s father, clarified that his daughter is a “tomboy,” not trans, and called the litany of hateful comments on Cline’s post “disgusting.”

In the MAGA world, being a tomboy is just as bad.

This teenage girl was not trans but after a school board member alleged she was so this 14 year old girl had to enlist police protection to safeguard her life and stop cyber bullying. If your irrational fear of transgender people causes youngsters to need police protection you are not the good guys..

Yup. Deplorables don't want these kids frightened, or questioning their life choices - they want them injured or dead, and they'll claim it's God's work. That's how sick their mindset is.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A conservative Utah State Board of Education member who faced calls to resign after lawmakers said she bullied a student on social media lost her nomination for reelection Saturday.

Natalie Cline needed at least 40% of the delegate votes at the Salt Lake County Republican Convention, but she fell short of that threshold Saturday. She faced Jordan School District administrator Amanda Bollinger, who won sufficient support to become the party nominee in that school board race.

*chuckle*

Outrage from the people willing to call Trump Hitler and his voters Nazis...

This is ironic, unintended comedy at its best.
