"God, you're hot" school board member Keith Ervin not removed from school board. (www.youtube.com)

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.

Personally, I'd let my dentist grope me if he had a high enough success rate. I did some research a while ago, and a dentist whose work consistently fails will probably never lose his license. The patient won't be able to successfully sue them and there probably won't be an investigation. It's a "buyer beware" scenario.

Are you ok?

Aside from the hole in my tooth, I'm fine. I'm speaking as someone who is currently making the transition from a negligent dentist. Since losing a tooth is a cosmetic issue, failing to identify a problem that can be clearly seen on an x-ray for over a year doesn't meet the standard of harm necessary for consequences.

...at this point, I'd have been less upset if this dude groped me. I'd let Satan work on me if he was a competent dentist.

Judging from the post history we can be fairly sure that nope.
