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.

"Redneck" implies working class (because it's traditionally caused by getting sunburned from working out in a field) in a way that "good ol' boy" does not.

The idea of a redneck community leader is an oxymoron.

    I'd say the term has undergone what happens with many other definitions over the years, i.e. it's shifted somewhat in meaning. More than just being about an outdoor worker, I think it implies a certain type of conduct and attitude.

    And I absolutely meant it as a slander to those 'community leaders,' as explained earlier.
