MARION, Ind. — An Indiana school board president has stepped down after sharing an online post in support of Roseanne Barr following the actress’ racist tweet.

The Marion Chronicle-Tribune reports that Cathy Mortiz resigned Thursday as president of the Marion Community Schools board but plans to serve out her term as an elected board member.

Mortiz posted an apology on Facebook after sharing a post that included a photo of Barr and the words: “We stand with Roseanne. Share if you do too.” Mortiz said she hadn’t read Barr’s racist tweet before sharing the post.

Mortiz later issued a statement saying she’s “sorry for the message that was conveyed.”

ABC canceled its successful reboot of the TV show “Roseanne” following Barr’s racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, a black former adviser to President Barack Obama.

Hmmm. So what if the school “bored” prez had shown support for and made a pro ‘sam B’ facebook post? A raise perhaps? She should have told the whiners to pound sand and hung in there. I’m sure there was no bullying involved. Or intolerance.

So true, and they don’t stop until they get FULL capitulation or death.

IMHO, Mortiz should have said, “I can not support a greedy millionaire slumlord like Jarret”

So you can “stand with Kapernick, et al” vs The National Anthem?

But not with Roseanne vs Commie/Muzzie Jarrett?

Good lord, people

Obviously, many on “our side” (term used loosely) continue to follow the GOP-e tradition of apologizing, groveling and capitulation, despite the success DJT has had in telling the PC crowd to stuff it.

Every cottin’ pickin’ time a Conservative faces the slightest ill wind they immediately apologize and quickly pull down all their sails. This constant surrender is tantamount to an admission of guilt and — once again — provides the fascists yet another victory.

Really, it’s time to man-up! Stop apologizing and stop cowering because you want it all to just go away. It won’t, and it makes it that much tougher the next time.
