A Crawford Central School Board member is facing backlash for trading insults on social media and posting critical comments about President Donald Trump, including using variations of the phrase “clean head shot.”

A member of the public used the comment period at the end of Monday’s school board meeting to call out the social media activity of board member Glenn Tuttle.

“One of our school board members made very inappropriate remarks on Facebook,” Bonnie Van Nort began without identifying Tuttle by name. “We are all entitled to our opinions, but as an elected school board member, I would think that one would want to support our students, staff and community.”

Van Nort is a sub-contractor for the district who does the sign language for the televised meetings but spoke as a member of the public who has a student in the district.

After Van Nort spoke, Tuttle offered a defense of his use of social media. Following the meeting, Van Nort supplied the Tribune with hard copies of Facebook postings from Dec. 19, including the comments by Tuttle that she had been referring to in her comments to the board.

The postings include a number of people trading insults and criticisms of political beliefs back and forth, including several comments from Tuttle that are critical of then President-elect Trump. Tuttle was elected to the board as a Republican in 2013 to fill out an open seat on the board and re-elected to a four-year term in 2015. More recently, he has identified himself as a Libertarian.
