Salt Lake City’s NBC affiliate reports:

After discussion in an hourslong, closed-door session, the Utah State Board of Education voted publicly to strip Natalie Cline of several of her powers as a state board member in response to her post questioning the gender of a student-athlete online. The board also asked her to resign immediately.

The formal censure includes stripping her of committee assignments or getting new ones, her ability to place items on agendas and attending board advisory committee meetings.

“After reviewing all of the evidence, the crux of the issue is that a line here has been crossed,” board member Christina Boggess said. “Free speech does not give anyone the right to target, intimidate or harm young students,” board member Emily Green said.

In 2021, Cline also faced calls to resign over allegedly racist and anti-LGBTQ posts on Facebook. Cline has said that public schools “brainwash children into queer gender-bending ideologies.”
