New York School Board Member Calls A Parent An A-Hole During Critical Race Discussion, All Hell Breaks Loose

A parent jumped on a stage Tuesday night after a school board member called him an “asshole” following a heated exchange over mask policy and Critical Race Theory curriculum, video shows.

Rich Tyson, the father of a girl in the Penfield Central School District, jumped on stage and confronted William Yaeger, a school board member who provoked him after he delivered a public comment criticizing the school for its mask policy that requires students to wear face coverings inside, according to WROC.

“Be respectful. You’re an elected representative to represent us. This is isn’t about you, bud.” Tyson said. Yaeger then taunts the dad and calls him an “asshole.”

“You’re not gonna stand up here and do anything to me, a**hole,” Yaeger said.

Other school members had to stop Yaeger and Tyson from getting into any physical altercation, which stopped the meeting. The public had to leave, and the conference eventually continued virtually.
