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.

    No, the Old Testament definitely advocates for stoning. That was what the whole “let he who is without sin cast the first stone” thing in the New Testament is referring to. Jesus was stopping a stoning. But many conservative Christians conveniently forget that the New Testament is a thing, and refer almost exclusively to the Old Testament for their teachings.

      You’re absolutely correct! But do you expect the average American to have read the Bible? let alone the old testament?
