School Board Member Forced to Resign After Bathroom Mishap in Zoom Meeting

Entertainment and Lifestyle

A New Jersey woman, who once said she was “disgusted” by LGBT curriculum, flushed her career on a local school board down the toilet this week by accidentally broadcasting her bathroom break on Zoom during a public meeting.

Frances Cogelja resigned as a trustee of the Hackensack Board of Education over the embarrassing video fail when she brought her laptop into the bathroom to relieve herself, according to the Daily Voice.

Cogelja apparently was unaware she’d left the camera on — and her trip to the toilet was witnessed by nearly 140 attendees of the virtual meeting, including students.

The board’s vice president, Scott James-Vickery, addressed the NSFW spectacle later on.

“As far as I’m concerned, while our teachers are being professional and you’re at home, sitting on the toilet, we are moving on with this district doing what’s best,” he said.

Cogelja’s resignation was announced by the board Tuesday afternoon.

It has until January 29 to fill her board seat.

Cogelja made headlines over the summer for saying she was “disgusted and appalled” by a new law requiring LGBT history to be taught in classrooms, NorthJersey.com reported at the time.

“I find it repugnant that someone’s sexual preferences have anything to do with their contributions or achievements in society,” Cogelja wrote in an email to acting Superintendent Rosemary Marks in February. “Everywhere I turn, this alternate lifestyle narrative is being shoved (down) our children’s throats. Where does it end???”

Her comments earned her hours of attacks from parents at a subsequent meeting, with parents demanding she resign, the publication said.

  1. That parents would attack her for saying something like that, tells you everything you need to know about why the country is circling the drain. Holy moly, these aren’t parents, these are disgusting POS.
