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.
@Lost_My_Mind
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.
There are infinite illegal means, however.
if you still live there, you have a moral obligation to go egg this guy’s house
Same
At least we’re not Erwin…
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 🤣
Oh yeah and was the site of Impact Plastics, the company that killed 4 women during Hurricane Helene by waiting until the parking lot was under 3 feet of water to evacuate the building.
Yup, that’s Erwin alright!
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.
TBF, that was the “most humane” way they seemed to be able to think of, back then. Not excusing any of it in the slightest. Just let that sit for a minute, is all.
At that moment in time, a sufficient number of people aware of this standard were ok with said bullshit —despite everything about it screaming no-effort Americana-brand snow-job (or simply couldn’t be arsed to GAF, sure).
FWIW: Edison filmed a fucking documentary of Topsy’s 1903 electrocution, the absolute psychopath. 😱🤮😭🤮🤬
(CW: animal abuse, murder, etc. Please be aware that it is gut-wrenching, and will likely stick with you. Proceed at your discretion.)
Once again, this was a sundown town in the Jim Crow South. They did all this while lynchings took place not far away.
Im not inclined to sympathize with those who hanged the elephant.
Im not saying youre wrong. Im just saying fuck Erwin
