Teenage student blasts school board ‘cowards’ for failing to protect her when one of their members called her ‘hot’

A Tennessee teenager branded her school board “cowards” for not removing one of their members after he hugged her and called her “hot” at a public meeting.

High school senior Hannah Campbell, a student member of the Washington County board, told Keith Ervin that she did not forgive him for his “sexist and derogatory” actions on April 2, when he put his arm around her and told her “God you’re hot, you know that?”

Campbell also blasted Ervin’s colleagues for only censuring him and not removing him from the board; “I believe that you’re all cowards, especially those who use their God as a cop out for forgiveness.”

Ervin claims his words were taken out of context and he was merely complimenting Campbell’s line of questioning.
