SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has signed legislation censuring a conservative member of the state Board of Education whose social media post questioning the gender of a high school basketball player triggered a firestorm of derogatory comments. The board had voted unanimously Wednesday to reprimand and censure Natalie Cline and ask for her resignation by Feb. 19. The board will no longer allow her to attend meetings.

Cline said the board did not give her due process.
