Hackensack, New Jersey school board member Frances Cogelja has issued her resignation following an embarrassing incident during a board meeting November 23. During a public comments section of the meeting, Cogelja took her laptop with her to the bathroom and defecated before a stunned audience.
Granted, Cogelja probably didn’t intend to leave her camera active during her trip to the toilet. An estimated 150 people, including other administration officials, parents and students all witnessed the incident. Shortly thereafter, some of Cogelja’s colleagues began to call for her resignation. She complied the following day according to The Daily Voice, issuing her formal resignation on the afternoon of November 24.

The resignation marks an all-too-fitting end to Cogelja’s tenure, and a career already stained with (excuse the phrase) questionable behavior. Last year Cogelja landed in the news over her outspoken opposition to teaching LGBTQ related curriculum in New Jersey schools.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I have every right as a parent to not have my child participate in something that I do not think is suitable as part of a public school curriculum,” she bemoaned at the time. “I believe conversations having to do with sexuality should be had at home between parents and their children.” Cogelja also labeled the statewide mandate to teach the curriculum “repugnant.”
In response to her comments, hundreds of local parents turned up at board meetings to demand her resignation. A petition on Change.org also nabbed 1,900 signatures.
At the time of this writing, Frances Cogelja has not commented on her resignation.

It’s amazing that she finds including an LGBT curriculum in schools repugnant but apparently she finds shitting on video appropriate. Children and Youth Services in NJ needs to evaluate her. What is she teaching her children at home? That it’s appropriate to make a video about defecation and broadcast it?

It would compute that her defecation rid her of her ability to think critically
and emphatically. In short, she more than cleared her system.

I don’t believe this for a moment! Anti-Christian propaganda from the faggy left! I DEMAND proof! RELEASE THE VIDEO! 😉

I take it you are another curious closet case? Why else would you subscribe to this group and frequent this site? It’s ok, I an sure your wife won’t mind. Probably has her own “other” life going on too.

If this was a lie she would be 100% able to sue for defamation of character, but since it was all caught on video she resigned refusing to give a statement. But go ahead with your denial and your homophobic slurs, mr Reverend James.

Ummm, hey angry commenters, this looks like it was a joke, not trolling. A request to release the video? Lol.

Guys, RefJames made a joke to embarrass her even more… How can you not see this, I am not even English and I can read through the sarcasm..! :):)
Jimmyhowcome
Very funny. I can’t believe how many people do not recognize sarcasm.

Cogelja more than floated the idea that LGBT content be banned from schools: she wanted to wipe the floor with her opponents. She would never accept being anyone’s #2 on the Board, but wanted to push and push her way to the forefront. The Board would have been right to dump her, but they didn’t need to flush out her noxious views: she confessed them without pressure.

Nice….she’ll be on pornhub by Christmas

She took a Trump on camera.

How perfect that this homophobic scat sow gave colleagues and students a shocking peep show and shat her school board tenure right down the drain!

Damn! That was quite a SH*T show

Who does that?? Why would anyone take their laptop to the toilet with them and then take a sh!t?? This woman is a joke or maybe she deliberately sabotaged herself because she’s a total POS. Or maybe it’s the beginning of dementia. Don’t care. Glad she’s gone.

She probably believes in QAnon, too. Stupid C UNT!!!!!

This story made me laugh real hard! Love it, love the karma!! 🙂

She forgot that she wasn’t on her OnlyFans page, where people pay to watch her take a dump each day.

First I hear about Trump and his diapers (#diaperdon) from former Apprentice Staffer, Noah Cassler and now another rightwing nutcase proving once again that Right-wingers are all full of crap.

It would be great if the moment had been recorded and was trending all over the internet right now.

Who in the entire world other than maybe a doctor uses the word defecated? Why do the few remaining places that allow you to make comments so vocally opposed to saying the word they would use any other time “shit, poop, turd, deuce” but defecate? They’re so worried about upsetting people that they’re upsetting people by talking in a bygone jargon.
Karlis
I looked very carefully at the comments to see if anyone had already noted this, but no one had, so I will: This just goes to show once again that Republithugs are full of shit!
