Pennsylvania School Board Director Resigns After Uproar Over Vote Against "Cis White Male" President

A Pennsylvania school board member has resigned and apologized after saying at a meeting last week that she was against voting for a “cis white male” to be nominated as board president.

Jennifer Solot, who has served five years on the school board for the Upper Moreland School District, made the comments at an open board reorganization meeting on Dec. 6 as the board was considering electing two individuals, April Stainback and Greg D’Elia, as the new president.

Solot had stated that D’Elia would make an “excellent president” but that she would ultimately not be voting for the candidate, and would instead vote for the incumbent president Stainback.

“I believe that Mr. D’Elia would make an excellent president,” Solot said at the meeting.

“However, I feel that electing the only cis white male on this board president of this district sends the wrong message to our community: a message that is contrary to what we as a board have been trying to accomplish.”

Cis is short for cisgender, a term used to describe someone who identifies as the same sex they were assigned at birth.

“I think that it is important that we practice what we preach. And that our words have strength when they are spoken, whether we speak them from the neighborhood sidewalks or from behind these tables,” she continued.

“Mrs. Stainback has done an exemplary job as president these last few months, and the strength of her performance has earned her my vote tonight,” Solot added.

According to his official website, D’Elia is an “engineer, father, and husband,” who had hoped to be elected to the position of School Board president.

Exercise is an Anti-cancer Drug — Even for Late-stage Patients

It’s no secret that exercise is good for the body, but new findings from a team at Edith Cowan University suggest breaking a sweat regularly is like medicine for cancer patients — and every dose counts. Researchers report that just a single exercise session elevated anti-cancer proteins called myokines among a group of late-stage prostate cancer patients. The myokine levels observed post-exercise, study authors say, are enough to significantly suppress tumor growth.

Prior studies conducted at ECU’s Exercise Medicine Research Institute have shown that men with advanced prostate cancer are able to change the chemical environment within their own bodies over the course of six months by exercising, consequently suppressing cancer cell growth. Back then, researchers recorded higher levels of myokines, which the skeletal muscles produce and are capable of suppressing tumor growth. They even actively fight cancerous cells by stimulating various anti-cancer processes within the body.

Now, this latest EMRI study shows that just a single bout of exercise is enough to elevate myokines even further and induce additional cancer suppression. Importantly, these findings indicate exercise is beneficial for cancer patients, even those with advanced cases who have already received extensive treatment over many years.

A total of nine patients with late-stage prostate cancer performed 34 minutes of high intensity exercise on a stationary cycle. Researchers collected blood serum immediately before the workout, immediately afterwards, and then again 30 minutes post-workout.

The team discovered that blood obtained just after working out displayed elevated levels of anti-cancer myokines, those extra myokines resulted in less growth of prostate cancer cells in vitro by roughly 17 percent. Serum myokine levels and cancer suppression returned to baseline readings after a half-hour had passed.

What’s the ‘minimum dose’ of exercise for cancer patients?

According to EMRI researcher and study supervisor Professor Rob Newton, this work represents a breakthrough moment in exercise oncology.

“The findings from our work are particularly exciting because we report for the first time ever that men with advanced prostate cancer are able to produce an acute elevation in anti-cancer molecules called myokines in response to a single bout of vigorous exercise,” Newton says in a university release.
