Half the school board thinks Keith deserves a third chance (that’s right, not his first time making inappropriate comments to a child).

They say only he can decide if he wants to step down. They did vote in favor of censuring him. The rest of the school board members that laughed during the comment and touching of a child faced no repercussion. Some even pretended to be offended during the emergency hearing.

    Whatever you say, Batman. Are you the one who’s going to deliver the punch?

    Plenty of other countries have more vigilante justice and still have corrupt leaders, so clearly that doesn’t work either. Maybe instead work to make your government better. In a democracy, it represents the will of the people.

      I hit my step-father over the head as a child with a cast iron pan for trying to force himself on my mother while drunk, so yeah, I’ll fucking beat him up for you, if you’re too much of a feckless hand-wringer to do anything to defend your community from predators. wouldn’t want you to break your nails or muss up your hair gel.

      Maybe instead work to make your government better. In a democracy, it represents the will of the people.

      the United States is not a democracy, and the will of the people is ignored. so basically, you’re advice is to sit back and do nothing, same as always.

        if you’re too much of a feckless hand-wringer to do anything to defend your community from predators.

        Unlike you, I do things that work instead of just putting myself in jail. I was lucky to grow up in a household with education and without violence, so that’s why I’m more likely to make correct decisions.

        the will of the people is ignored

        News to me.

        your advice

        is to call for his resignation, raising embarrassment until he does. I’m active in local politics, so I know what works. It’s the people who aren’t active in politics who think action movies have all the answers. Rand Paul is still in office. Tony Gonzales will not be.

      Because you don’t have the will to throw a punch, you’re just going to project insincerity onto those who do? Weak shit.
