A school board member in Oklahoma was caught swigging a brewski during a recent board of education meeting. After making a motion, viewers of the Zoom meeting could see board member Linda Farley take a sip out of a Corona Extra beer bottle. Some parents say they are outraged and calling for Farley's resignation since she is voting on money matters and other important issues affecting their kids and the schools.

When confronted with the accusations, Farley confessed and apologized for her behavior. She also blamed her beer drinking on a medical condition and the need to flush out her kidneys.

Farley issued the following statement:

To Whom It May Concern:

I first want to apologize to my fellow Board Members and the residents of the Western Heights School District. I made a mistake, and I am sorry if it has caused any embarrassment to our district. I was extremely sick at last night’s board meeting and continue to be sick today. I have been suffering from a severe kidney infection and have been bedbound the last few days. Even though I was in my own home during the meeting, I should have used better judgement. I was only present because we were not sure we had a quorum to conduct business. Nevertheless, I should not have drunk a beer during the meeting in order to flush out my kidneys. In hindsight, I should have remained in bed and skipped the meeting. Again, I am sorry and I can only ask for forgiveness and assure you it will not happen again.

LINDA FARLEY
