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.

    Good ole boys are the political in group in small towns. Generally they have good jobs and are seen by locals as community leaders of some sort. Rednecks are basically anyone who enjoys things typically associated with rural living. Anyone can be a redneck and there are plenty of rednecks in jail for way less serious things than child abuse.

      TBH, there’s an intentional slander element I’m going for.

      The idea being that such ‘community leaders’ are little more than rednecks to me, at the end of the day. And I’m not sure I agree about the ‘rural living’ definition. Nothing wrong with rural life IMO, but rednecks are moreso representative to me of toxic actors amongst such folks.
