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 weird, so strange and not usual at all that the ones not calling for his resignation invoke Christian values and Jeebus (and literally comparing him to the pedo in chief). Unfortunately with world events being what they are I'm sure this'll be forgotten within a day or two. Apparently we can only wait for this guy's name to pop up in the paper in a few years for having raped a bunch of pre teens.

The bar is so low, yet the US keeps effortlessly limboing under it

Yeah, but... think about it. We haven't seen the girl. What if she was, like, REALLY hot? A complete fucking smoke show. 10/10. One of the ones you might sneak into a dressing room at beauty pageant to see. Or maybe even hop on a private plane to meet on some luxurious island. Or even carry across state lines. I don't think we should pass judgement on this man until we determine if he was a pedophile, a pedophile, or a pedophile.

Edit: Also, if reading the first few lines of this post made your stomach twist a little, then you are one of the good ones. Keep it up. The world needs more of you and less of this douche nozzle.

Side note.. I did watch the vid. She was pretty and all. But she was dressed far more conservatively than most high school girls. Certainly not dressed to look hot. So if he can't keep his mind off the underage girl dressed conservatively, what would happen if he saw a bare midriff...

The first few lines did have me thinking ' I don't know where you're going with this one bro...'

Thank God. I was worried we were going to hold men accountable for once
