Richard Atikins, a board member for Central Unified School District in Fresno, Calif. resigned after a blogger mobilized her Instagram followers to get him fired.
Californians have endured ongoing protests as Black Lives Matter and Antifa organizations clash with police while attempting to tear down historic statues.
Atkins allegedly wrote an Instagram post urging protesters to “go back to the country you or your ancestors came from.”
He added, “I am SICK of this shit.”
Instagram blogger @gossipofthecity_ urged her followers to call the board and demand his termination.
“Call up @centralusd right now at their board meeting & demand Richard Atkins be terminated . Call : 559-276-3150.”
Atkins apparently resigned during the board meeting on Tuesday.
