An Arizona school board member is facing calls for resignation after making a Nazi salute and shouting during a contentious board meeting.

The incident occurred when the board member directed the gesture toward the board president, whom she accused of acting like a dictator. According to reports, she performed the salute while shouting "Heil" during the meeting.

The board member's actions were apparently meant to mock or protest what she characterized as authoritarian behavior by the board president. The gesture drew immediate backlash from observers and other officials.

Following the incident, critics have called for the board member's resignation. The controversy has drawn attention to tensions within the school district's governance.

School board meetings across the country have increasingly become venues for heated political disputes in recent years, though Nazi imagery and gestures remain highly unusual even in contentious proceedings.
