Parental rights advocate Bridget Ziegler is facing calls to resign from her position on Sarasota County’s school board, after her fellow members voted in favor of her resignation. Despite the pressure and public criticism, Ziegler does not appear to be giving up her seat. Board member Tom Edwards has been a leading critic of Ziegler, who has been accused of pushing anti-LGBTQ and politically driven Christian policies in the district. Ziegler is also at the center of a highly publicized sex scandal involving her husband, the head of Florida’s Republican Party. During a recent meeting, Ziegler seemed unfazed by the criticism and support she received. The board’s attorney clarified that the resignation vote does not have any consequences, leading some to question Ziegler’s ability to function as a school board member. Governor Ron DeSantis has asked Ziegler’s husband to resign but has not commented on whether he thinks Ziegler should resign from the board. Ziegler has not responded to requests for comment, and the GOP Party of Florida will hold a special meeting to determine her husband’s fate. The Governor has the power to remove Ziegler from office but has not indicated his stance on the issue. The situation surrounding Ziegler’s position on the school board continues to generate controversy and calls for her resignation.
