   A California school board president has resigned amid outrage   
   over racist and sexist slurs his wife posted about Vice   
   President-elect Kamala Harris.   
      
   Former Google executive Jon Venverloh resigned from the Las   
   Lomitas Elementary School District in the San Francisco Bay Area   
   on Sunday — while distancing himself from the “reprehensible   
   views” his wife, Mehridith Philips Venverloh, had tweeted hours   
   earlier.   
      
   In one disturbing post, she dismissed Harris’ place in history   
   as both the first black vice president as well as the first   
   female one.   
      
   “All she needs to be qualified is a black p—y! No brain needed!”   
   Philips Venverloh wrote on her Twitter account, which has since   
   been deleted.   
      
   Another post suggested that Harris had used sex to “whore” her   
   way to her history-making position, with other posts also   
   attacking the LGBTQ community.   
      
   One local mom, Brianna Caldwell, told KGO that it was like was   
   “watching systemic racism happening, on display in my own   
   children’s school in our backyard.”   
      
   “I almost vomited, then I cried a little bit and then I was just   
   shaking and I was so angry,” Caldwell told the station.   
      
   Philips Venverloh’s husband resigned from the school board after   
   a petition was signed by more than 100 people in just hours,   
   according to the Mercury News.   
      
   “Given my wife’s social media posts, which expressed   
   reprehensible views that I do not agree with, I know that my   
   continued service would be a distraction from the work that   
   needs to be done in the District over the two years remaining in   
   my term,” Venverloh said in a statement.   
      
   Before deleting her account, Philips Venverloh apologized for   
   her “vulgar” words that she said were written “in a moment of   
   disappointment.”   
      
   “I am deeply sorry and ashamed,” she said and added that she has   
   been taking medications for a “debilitating neurological   
   disease” but had been weaning herself off them in preparation   
   for a scheduled hospitalization.   
      
   “I believe that the change in medication reduced my judgment   
   between right and wrong when I made the posts,” she said.   
      
   The trustees of the board — which includes a middle school in   
   Menlo Park and an Atherton elementary school — condemned the   
   “abhorrent … racially based and gender-based hatred” shared in   
   the posts.   
      
   The statement said the egregiousness of Phillips Venverloh’s   
   posts has “undermined Jon’s ability to serve effectively on our   
   governance team.”
