"Controversy Surrounding Bridget and Christian Ziegler Rocks Sarasota School Board"

Calls for Bridget Ziegler to resign from her position on the Sarasota County School Board have intensified following the criminal investigation into her husband, Christian Ziegler, who is accused of rape. The Republican Party of Sarasota County chair and a fellow school board member have both called for her resignation, citing her focus on politics over students and alleged hypocrisy. While Bridget Ziegler is not under criminal investigation, critics argue that her actions and statements have created a mistrust around public education and have negatively impacted the LGBTQ community. Various groups, including "Support Our Schools," are among those calling for her resignation.
