School board member slammed for cursing at maskless man: ‘Wear the mask on your f****** balls'

A Board of Education member in a suburban Chicago community has been blasted on social media for asking a parent to 'wear the mask on your f****** balls'

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: A Board of Education member in a suburban Chicago community has been blasted on social media for asking a parent to “wear the mask on your f****** balls” as he tried to give a speech. The incident happened at a meeting of the Glenbrook High School District 225 Board of Education as the man, identified only as Mark, started by saying, “I’m starting my clock here, so I’ll stay the exact two minutes.”

But he was interrupted by a moderator who said, “I’m sorry, sir, sir, you need to put on your mask.” Mark then responded, “Should I stop my clock? I can’t. President Biden and (Illinois Democratic Governor) JB Pritzker both speak without a mask. And I do have an exemption. Will you allow me to speak? Please, I’m not going to interrupt you when you speak.”

However, the moderator did not stop there and went on to say, “I’m sorry, it’s a rule you have to follow. I’m sorry, sir. That’s the rule. You need to keep your mask on.” But then the man mentioned, “I have an exemption. I mean, I don’t want to go into the whole thing about, explain to you. I don’t even know you guys, and I don’t want to explain my medical situation. I thought I’d be allowed to speak. Can I restart my clock? I’m at 38 seconds now.”

The exchange between the moderator and Mark went on for some more time before the latter one said, “I can’t speak with my mask on, I can’t articulate. I have a medical — you’re not gonna honor a medical and religious exemption?” Then the moderator stated, “If you have a medical exemption, okay. That’s fine sir,” and also added, “Just start again. Go ahead, sir.” But that’s when the board member Joel Taub entered the scene and questioned the moderator, “Are you gonna let him speak without a mask?”

The moderator then replied, “Well, he’s got a medical exemption.” Mark also expressed his irritation and remarked, “Now he’s interrupting me. I mean, you guys are rude. Do I get to speak or not? Do I get to speak? (gesturing to Taub) Who’s this? Are you the mask police? Can I speak or not?”

The moderator then tried to cool down the situation by telling Mark, “We’ll let you speak. Just one moment please. Mr. Taub, do you have a question?” But the matter escalated and Taub blamed the moderator. He told him, “This is not what you promised. You said if they don’t wear a mask they can’t speak.” But the parent jumped in and asked, “I have a mask. I can wear the mask on my head if you want.” And that’s when Taub lost all his cool and said, “You can wear your mask on your f***ing balls. If you don’t wear the f****** mask, you get the f*** out of here!”

The video of the incident has been shared on the internet also which has left people baffled. A user slamming Taub tweeted, “@glenbrook_south what kind of example is your school board setting for its students? Joel Taub should be immediately removed.  What a childish clown.” Another one wrote, “Joel Taub is an embarrassing public official...he needs to go!” “Joel Taub DEFINITELY likes to be cuckolded. He should be fired immediately for speaking to a parent like this. I’m surprised everyone remained calm. I would have lost my shit,” the third user said.

A person noted, “If School Board members like Joel Taub can be this rude and disrespectful to parents at a meeting, imagine how they discuss parents when we’re out if the room… 🙄 #ResignNow.” Another one added, “What are you going to do about Joel Taub? If he speaks down to the parents like that with that disgusting foul mouth than how does he treat the children? You should not employ psychopaths like that, especially to work around children…he obviously needs some mental help.”
