WHEREAS, We recently witnessed a deplorable form of bullying from State School Board Member, Natalie Cline, and her followers on a social media post that targeted a student from Granite School District.

WHEREAS, Every child deserves and has the right to learn and participate in a safe educational environment.

THEREFORE, We condemn anyone who would bully or target any student for any reason, but especially those in positions of power who are specifically elected to represent and protect our children.
