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.

Whatever you say, Batman. Are you the one who's going to deliver the punch?

Plenty of other countries have more vigilante justice and still have corrupt leaders, so clearly that doesn't work either. Maybe instead work to make your government better. In a democracy, it represents the will of the people.

There are a lot of problems with the US that more cast iron pans would fix. Good on you.

if you're too much of a feckless hand-wringer to do anything to defend your community from predators.

Unlike you, I do things that work instead of just putting myself in jail. I was lucky to grow up in a household with education and without violence, so that's why I'm more likely to make correct decisions.

the will of the people is ignored

News to me.

your advice

is to call for his resignation, raising embarrassment until he does. I'm active in local politics, so I know what works. It's the people who aren't active in politics who think action movies have all the answers. Rand Paul is still in office. Tony Gonzales will not be.
