Tennessee school board member who called student 'hot' is censured
A Tennessee county school board voted unanimously Wednesday to censure a member who told a student, “God, you’re hot” at a public board meeting last week.
The Washington County Board of Education approved the censure during an emergency meeting, following public calls to remove board member Keith Ervin and Superintendent Jerry Boyd.
In a board meeting April 2, which was livestreamed, Ervin told a female high school student next to him: “God, you’re hot. Do you know that? Damn. Where do you go to school at?”
The girl, who is a student member of the board, had just wrapped up asking questions about career and technical education when Ervin put his arm around her and hugged her from the side and made the comment.
