Dot Heffron is the chair of Chesterfield County School District. She posted this on Instagram last week.
No, I am not lying. That is a real post from a member of a public school board for an affluent county that oversees 40 elementary schools, 12 middle schools, 10 high schools, and three technical schools.
Despite the ensuing firestorm, leftwing political allies have refused to condemn Heffron for her words, including the Democratic candidate for Virginia governor, Abigail Spanberger.
On Sunday, Heffron announced that she would resign ... but only at the end of the year.
Heffron, who has represented the Clover Hill District since 2019 and whose term wasn't up until 2028, exclusively told Axios on Sunday that she'll resign Dec. 31.
She said stepping down then will give the board time to find a replacement and limit disruption to its work.
The school board accepted Heffron's resignation Sunday night, per a statement.
What they're saying: 'It was never my intention to make light of violence or to suggest that harm to anyone is ever acceptable,' Heffron wrote in a statement first shared with Axios.
'I especially want to extend my sincerest condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of Charlie Kirk,' she wrote.
You mean the guy you called a Nazi?
One more time for the kids in the back:
The intent of that post was never "to make light of violence or to suggest that harm to anyone is ever acceptable"? 🤔
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, meanwhile, called for Heffron's immediate resignation on Monday.
