An older woman who had earlier questioned mask policy yelled to Yaeger about the gesture. \u201cWhat is that?\u201d she says.

This is a time for residents to share comments and concerns with the Board. Following the public comment period at tonight\u2019s meeting, an exchange between a resident and a Board member became heated. The situation escalated and the meeting was immediately recessed. Since all meetings are also streamed and accessible online, the public was cleared and the meeting was reconvened in a virtual format so that the Board could complete its business.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;Heated&quot; exchange interrupts Penfield Board of Education meeting\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bXcSBLT193o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
