Welcome to 2025, where school board meetings are now just slightly more civilized than a bar brawl, and only barely. This week in Lincoln, Maine, a Regional School Unit 67 board meeting descended into full-blown chaos after a local social media personality, Tim Bodnar (known online as @TruthSlingerX), showed up to voice his outrage over what he saw as a wrist-slap punishment for a teacher who allegedly made light of Charlie Kirk’s death.

Apparently in Lincoln’s school district, joking about it is just a quirky lapse in judgment, not a fireable offense.
The meeting turned heated the moment Bodnar stepped up to the mic. He called out the teacher by name, demanded justice, and slammed the board for their inaction. When Chairwoman Dianne Buck tried to gavel him down, he shot back, “You can bang that all you want, lady,” which, to be honest, might be the most Maine way of saying “I’m not done yet.”
After a brief recess, Bodnar picked right back up, this time with the crowd clapping and cheering. “He can have free speech, he just can’t have a job on taxpayer money!” he shouted, demanding the district provide counseling for students affected by the teacher’s remarks about Kirk’s murder. Fair point. If a teacher mocked the death of a Democrat activist, they’d have been fired before the meeting even started.
That’s when board member Andrew Funaro decided to jump into the fray and it went downhill fast.
Bodnar called a female board member “a foul, evil woman,” which lit the fuse on Funaro, who sprang to her defense. From there, it became a shouting match about who knew what, when, and how quickly action should’ve been taken. At one point, Bodnar shouted, “The world is moving way too fast for you, old man!” Not exactly a model of civility, but also not a felony.
Then things got physical.
Funaro slapped the phone out of Bodnar’s hand and lunged at him. Thankfully, police stepped in before anyone needed medical attention. Bodnar has since filed assault and battery charges and posted the full incident to his X profile for the world to see.
All of this over a teacher making disgusting comments about a murdered conservative. And somehow the only person punished so far is the guy demanding accountability. Welcome to the state of public education where discipline is optional, but outrage is guaranteed.
