Launch him into the sun.
As a reminder, escape velocity of the sun is far less energy taxing than reducing velocity to zero to launch them into the sun.
Why waste the fuel on a waste of space? Solar sails and the ultimate banishment
“God, it’s so hot…”
Is the girl in question the one blurred out? And is he not touching her? How is that appropriate? It's not JUST the inappropriate sexual comment, but also TOUCHING of a minor, during a public meeting.
Yup, blurred out cause under the age of 18.
"TSSSSSSSS. GOD, YOU'RE HOT. YOU KNOW THAT?"
🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮
I became involved because I reside in Washington County, I went to school my entire life in these schools. The things that are happening now have happened for as long as I can remember. It’s the “good ole boy” system. They protect each other and let each other get away with whatever they want, and it needs to stop.
Many such cases, tale as old as time, etc.
Them "good ole boy" s have infested the government at every level. May not be rid of them til they age out.
I've been hoping for that for a long time, but for every one that has the grace to age out and die, at least one more ages in.
This is the problem. I'm in my mid-40s and I have seen new "good ol' boys" move into the system as their predecessors die or retire.
The system is self-perpetuating.
Mr. Ervin has explained that he meant nothing offensive and that we have simply misunderstood his intentions,” the board said.
Uh huh, we just misunderstood (slightly paraphrased) "god you're hot, what school do you go to?"
There are SO many ways to interpret this, you don't know what he meant, except for that all those ways are all fucked up in the head
The reply from the petitioner is great. We can't know his intent, obly he can, so we can only judge his words and actions. Nips that excuse right in the bud.
Maybe he just checked her temperature? And noticed she had a fever? And knew about potential contamination risks, and wanted to know which schuto quarantine?

Watch the far right rally around this.
And he is sitting next to her and grabs her when he says it... Ewww.
Definitely investigate this guy, i bet he has a BAD history. May be some criminal charges in the future.
He is already not allowed on school grounds unsupervised because of his sexual comments to children from before this incident.
So agreed on the bad history.
sexual comments to children from before this incident.
WTF? Why is he still part of the school board what the fuck

Conservatives are all pedophiles. This cannot be stressed enough.
Not all of them, but an uncannily high number.

“God, you’re hot. Do you know that? Where do you go to school at?”
How do you possible make this worse? Ask them where they wll be later.
Not calling for violence but how does this not get you tarred and feather in the parking lot?

Haven't you noticed? pedophiles are in fashion now… they can even be presidents
If my kid was speaking in front of the school board and subjected to that kind of harassment I’d be in jail right now.

Thats what you get when you choose your leaders by popularity contest. That wouldn't be appropriate even if she was an adult.

They.. just... laughed?
The member would never have said it in the first place, if the school board culture was not already like that.
