Days after board members laughed at the exchange, the Washington County Board of Education called the comments “shocking,” saying “no explanation can justify that.”

    In america, if you are in any sort of position of power you’re not really ‘cool’ unless you travel with the trump/epstein crowd.

    Is the girl in question the one blurred out? And is he not touching her? How is that appropriate? It’s not JUST the inappropriate sexual comment, but also TOUCHING of a minor, during a public meeting.

          Protecting the identity and privacy of victimised children is the default stance for journalists here in the UK. I just assumed that was true in most of the western world… Does Canada identify child victims in news articles then?

          The reason this girls been anonymised in this case is likely because she’s already been objectified, and would be subject to further trolling/ harassment from people outraged with the situations outcome and looking for a target to blame.

          Just look at what happened to Virginia Guiffre, after publicly coming forward with her allegations she was subject to consistent death threats and harassment. Sparing anyone that situation seems merciful in my eyes.

      They’d have to blur her because otherwise she’d be doxxed, and have incels claiming she’s ugly and should be grateful that a man noticed her, and worse. As it is, her name is probably readily available and she is probably getting worse attention than the asshole who harrassed her.

      As a reminder, escape velocity of the sun is far less energy taxing than reducing velocity to zero to launch them into the sun.

      School board member is actually a really powerful position. They usually control the majority of a towns budget and are often the first stepping stone into politics.
