A school board member in Tennessee has been censured after telling a high school student she was "hot" at a public board meeting last week. During the April 2 livestreamed meeting, Washington County Board of Education member Keith Ervin told a female student, "God, you’re hot." The board in northeastern Tennessee passed the censure Wednesday during an emergency meeting after calls to remove Ervin and Superintendent Jerry Boyd. The student, who is a student representative of the board, had just finished inquiring about career and technical education when Ervin hugged her from the side and made the remark, NBC News reported.
