In a room full of women, school board member pulls his pro-male resolution

'The vice president of San Rafael’s school board withdrew a controversial resolution Monday night that would have recognized “the indispensable role of young men in our community and commit[ted] to support their needs and acknowledge their contributions.”

Mark Koerner pulled his legislation before the vote in front of a room filled almost entirely with women after facing intense backlash following the introduction of the resolution Friday.

During the 40-minute public comment period before the vote, nearly two dozen speakers described the resolution as “strange,” “ridiculous,” “offensive,” “a mockery of women’s history month,” and “a vanity metric.”'

Koerner that month proposed a resolution to instate an “International Boys Day.” It was denied. Koerner said he did not intend for the resolution to be divisive and admitted he was “open to revising language.”
