Tennessee school board member who called student ‘hot’ is censuredA 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.Some other board members at the table lightly laughed, and the meeting went on.A school board censure is a formal condemnation of a member’s conduct but doesn’t remove a person from office.At Wednesday’s meeting, several locals spoke about their anger and disappointment and called for Ervin to step down and for the board to take accountability.Ervin read a prepared speech in which he said he hadn’t intended to offend anyone and claimed that his “hot” comment was misconstrued.”Obviously I’ve seen the clip. Look, I get it, if that’s all you’re seeing, I understand why people are reacting the way they are,” he said. “But that’s not the full conversation, not even close. Last week at the board meeting I wanted to congratulate a student who did a great job sharing thoughts with all that was in the room.””When I mentioned she was hot, I meant she was on a roll, it was nothing to do with her appearance,” he continued. “As a lifetime supporter of David Crockett High school, I was especially surprised to learn that’s where she went to school.
