In reply to the discussion: Should school board president lose her job over Hitler Facebook post? [View all]okaawhatever
(9,461 posts)27. She should be fired for poor decision making, her inability to be the example her title demands,
and moral turpitude. Most people hired by a governor are hired to "serve at the pleasure of the governor". Her showing bad judgement in any arena reflects poorly on the person she is there to support. I have had a moral turpitude clause in every management job i've had. Not only did she reflect poorly on her boss for her actions, she seems to be an extremist to compare gun control proposals to Hitler. I'm quite certain the Jewish students wouldn't find those two things equal.

he may have 'hand-picked' her as a candidate, but she's an elected official, not an appointee.

the governor didn't appoint her as president & can't fire her as president -- unless he's a dictator
