Venting is healthy, the clip of the woman talking about being picked on seems pretty benign - honestly I'm sure many of the outraged parents have said and done worse things. I understand the optics are bad but maybe they shouldn't be, especially because there's likely some degree of truth in what was said.

So, especially for the specific role of school board members, it's more than just bad optics.
