A school board meeting in Maine descended into chaos after a board member slapped a phone out of an attendee's hand during a heated exchange.
Tensions flared during a Regional School Unit 67 meeting on Wednesday night when Tim Bodnar, a social media personality, targeted a teacher.
The unknown teacher was placed on leave last week over comments they made about the killing of Charlie Kirk, with an investigation pending.
Bodnar, known online as the 'Truth-slinger' and followed by tens of thousands on social media, repeatedly disrupted the otherwise orderly meeting.
He condemned the teacher and accused the district of allowing 'communist propaganda' in schools.
After opening with a prayer, Bodnar quickly escalated matters, loudly criticizing the teacher by name and challenging the board for not taking action.
Board Chair Dianne Buck then repeatedly struck her gavel and called for order.
'You can bang that all you want, lady,' Bodnar replied, ignoring calls to follow board rules. Buck then called a recess, but when the board reconvened, Bodnar resumed speaking and again raised his voice.
'I demand counseling for the kids who were hurt by Charlie Kirk's death that (the teacher) dissed,' he said.
'He can have free speech, he just can't have a job on taxpayer money!' he continued, as the comment drew applause from the audience.

He might have a point, but this kind of behavior at a town meeting is obnoxious.
Jam it down the throats of the Lefty murderers, and let them choke on it.
This "journalist" is a liar!
Nope. It’s high time we fought fire with fire. At least for a little while until the Lefty Bully Coalition and Soros backs down.

Enough with the pronoun misuse. The Teacher is either a HE or SHE.
Anyone starting a sentence with “I demand” usually loses my attention.

And a few million examples in between.
Bad behavior is contagious. I don't know if a cure is contagious as well.
Great to see our side challenging leftist school boards.
Good, ‘bout time some parents actually tried to do something, anything.
Do what anyone can do in a company — go to HR and complain that not condemning murder for any reason makes the workplace unsafe. Either discharge the wanna be murderer or let’s talk lawsuit.
