The Manhattan-Ogden school district on Wednesday adopted changes to the board member ethics policy.
That change follows controversy in September surrounding board member Katie Allen, who commented on a Facebook post related to political influencer Charlie Kirk’s death. The post included a quote from Kirk, who said, “I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.” Allen commented, “Well deserved.”
She later deleted the comment and apologized. The situation drew intense criticism from the community and other board members, who voted to ask her to resign. (She did not, but she did step down as vice president.)
