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.

Oh yay, my hometown

There's a petition you can sign to remove him. I saw it yesterday.

While it probably doesn't say so in so many words, the petition undoubtedly is only for those in that school district. Folks in that county don't care what anyone else thinks. If they did, this wouldn't have happened in the first place.
There is no legal means to remove him within current county law. He can resign or be voted out. That's it.

My next kobold will also loathe someone called "Erwin". They sound like a real twit.

🤣

Erwin TN is a little town off the Appalachian Trail. It's kinda notorious as a sundown town and Klan hotbed. Also they hanged an elephant once.

So, please do 🤣

Was that the time they were electrocuting elephants for science & lols? (fucking Edison) 🤮🤬

Nah, it was an escaped circus elephant that had killed someone. They brought in a crane and hanged it.
