“Where do you go to school at?” Poor grammar too. Unacceptable behavior for any school administration. Out with him.
Out with him.
Bad news
Let me guess.
Evangelical MAGA Republican?
“I’m so surprised,” said no one ever.
“Are you from Tennessee? 'Cause you’re like… really hot.”
I’ve been to Tennessee, the most churches I’ve ever seen, seemed to be one on every block. Checks out.
This is why local elections matter people!
How would you know he was a creep based on his campaign alone?
Republican
Fair enough
Does this girl not have a dad? If some man said that to my daughter I’d catch a charge wtf dude
Someone should take one for the team and run for school board member, just to replace that creep. Seriously!
School board member is actually a really powerful position. They usually control the majority of a towns budget and are often the first stepping stone into politics.
How about Dog Walker?
To be fair, this is what I expected from Tennessee. I’m not shocked.
In america, if you are in any sort of position of power you’re not really ‘cool’ unless you travel with the trump/epstein crowd.
I remember trying to be cool. I was 14.
Did it work?
No… :)
We need a really big pit
Not really, six feet will do.
lol wtf
oh yeah, this is America
When I first read this, I thought they were saying that God himself was hot… Wish I didn’t read into that more
“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.
Heard, one use to be a prince…
yeap… green prince instead of blue
🔫always have been
Hey, I’m not disagreeing with you or anything like that, but read what you type… possibly* will* (or they’ll), and also end that with a question mark. There’s absolutely no reason to have errors like that, you had all the time needed to read your own text and all the time after to fix it. No need to make yourself look incapable of using basic words, which I believe you definitely are (capable that is).
I’ll hire an editor
Here’s why:
“Boys will be boys.”
“He’s not wrong, she is hot.”
“Little slut deserves it for dressing like that.”
“Why didn’t I think of this? I wonder if he has any videos.”
“Note to self: accept his 4th of July pool party invitation this year.”
Not calling for violence
the reason this keeps happening is because people refuse to call for violence against filth like this
He’s a symptom. Violence against the idiots who can’t help but say the quiet part out loud on camera won’t stop the millions that do manage to keep the most blatant statements contained to men’s spaces.
What we need is a culture of nuanced introspection and personal growth, where people like him can admit that they’re pigs without it destroying their lives or moral standing, instead being a first step towards rehabilitation. Women and girls deserve to be kept safe from him and boys deserve better teachers, so he wouldn’t be able to work in education until he has done a lot of personal growth, but violence is just scapegoating.
Of course if the state threatens violence unless you pay taxes that pay for people like him to endanger women, then you can engage in organized mutual self-defense. Hard to get to that culture of personal growth otherwise.
In the mean time, people are entitled to organised mutual self-defense against him, which might also include violence but probably won’t.
That wouldn’t be scapegoating? He did actually commit the offense. It’s punishment.
Scapegoating does not require the scapegoat to be innocent of the thing they are rendered a scapegoat of. When a bunch of kids smash decorative plates and they all say afterward that only one of them did it, that one kid is a scapegoat even if that kid did smash some plates, or even the most plates.
And yes, punishment usually is scapegoating. “The offense” is some narrow, visible, and clearly defined thing that makes someone the convenient target to pin all the blame on, regardless of who was responsible for everything leading up to it.
There is more effective ways of dealing with it, outside of violence. I do like tar and feather though, just the right amount of violence
Just so we are clear, tarring and feathering is an extremely violent act. I’m not arguing against it, but covering someone in molten tar is not non-violent in the slightest. I’m personally all for it.
What are those more effective ways?
All the ones I can think of that don’t involve violence don’t seem to be working.
Thats because too many people sit on their ass waiting for other people to take care of it for them.
Coincidentally a lot of them are the same ones who call for violent action (and not all of them lean right).
These actions only work if a majority of citizens actually take them, not sit back and complain about how they dont work because things dont magically get fixed the instant a minority of people do it once.
Bingo.
my biggest complaint about the liberal/left is they will do anything but take charge. they seem to love sitting around and quarter backing and demanding someone else do something in their name… and a lot of them don’t even vote, because ‘what is the point’.
Is chemical castration, violence? I suppose it is. I would imagine the tech isn’t available to the general public anyway.
It’s also proved to be ineffective. Chemically castrated rapists rape again, they just use other stuff.
Pedophiles are praise worthy unless you are trying to make it big on the Internet, then you beat up random people who cant fight back and pretend they are this guy.
Everyone is willingly living a hypocritical lie these days.
Priorities, we got’em!
The only response to that is, “what the f*ck is the matter with you?”
Sir…I need to see your search history.
Launch him into the sun.
Or make him president.
“God, it’s so hot…”
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
anyone else in that room who did not immediately stand up and drag this douche out by the ear is complicit.
Didnt hear them laughing at it and the one older lady going “ohhh you” as if he does this all the time to children?
Cause they are accpeting of it. It comes from being bigger than the allegations.People also laugh when they are uncomfortable and don’t know what else to do. Obviously we’d rather see objections than nervous tittering, but I wouldn’t always take laughter as active complicity / celebration.
I was being over the top with the complicity mostly out if anger at the situation. I understand that people respond poorly in stressful situations but we need to start getting better at it.
This was a time I think it mattered to speak up.
Yeah I agree with all of that. Part of what was in my mind is that I would perceive a man laughing as very different than a woman laughing. I assume that all women live under potential sexual threat from men at all times, and laughing at an advance is a way to defuse it without getting confrontational. “Haha surely you jest” is actually a deflection, even if it isn’t a head on confrontation. I’m a man and I don’t fear direct confrontations, but I understand women don’t have the same privilege as I do in this regard.
as if he does this all the time to children?
It wasn’t just “a child”, it was a fellow board member. Guy has zero respect for the office, the students, or women generally speaking.
Yeah, I am just using the word cause the article doesnt bother with it.
I honestly don’t get how that makes it worse. Like, doing this to a board member is worse??? I don’t get this stance at all.
Like, doing this to a board member is worse???
Doing this to some random student is gross.
Doing this to another board member is also gross. But it signifies a kind of structural disrespect that undermines the office as well as the individual. It’s symptomatic of a general institutional disgust for student involvement in school affairs.
Like Bush Jr doing the creepy shoulder rub on Angela Merkel or - in a more extreme example - UN staffers who were “approached, accosted and raped” by fellow officials and dignitaries. It isn’t merely a personal transgression. It undermines the entire function of the representative body.
I think they meant the “oh you” comment was from a board member. The article says he said it to a student.
The student was a member of the board. That’s why they were up there next to the creep.
Students are not members of the school board. It’s an elected position that adults hold.
Read the article.
One of our colleagues, Keith Ervin, made a grossly inappropriate comment toward our student Board member.
