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.

I seriously wonder how far away the US is from stoning women and girls to death for not being virgins..

    I think stoning is too closely associated with Islam/Arabic nations, whipping or nailing to a cross would be more appropriate for the US

    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.
